The "credibility" mentioned above, is due to the source material, Il Giorno della civetta by Leonardo Sciascia, who was a master of understatement, not to mention his familiarity with his native Sicily. Unfortunately, the film acting is a little larger than life, and this truly spoils its possibilities. Had this film directed by Francesco Rosi, it might have fully succeeded.
