Rosa Nicolosi is not the widow of Salvatore Colasberna, the man murdered
in the beginning of the movie, but she is in fact the wife of Paolo
Nicolosi, the only eyewitness of the murder. Paolo goes missing the same
morning as the murder occurs.
The first great thriller by director Damiano Damiani, followed by many
remarkable films in the 70s, such as "Io ho paura" with Gian Maria
Volonte and "Un uomo in ginocchio" with Giuliano Gemma. "Il giorno
della civetta" has a marvelous cast: Franco Nero just risen to stardom
with "Django" (1966), Claudia Cardinale can be seen here a year before
"Once Upon a Time in the West", and veteran tough guy Lee J Cobb.
Sciascia's story about the murdered boss of a building company fits
Damiano's way to illustrate his view on society: too many people are
looking for the easy way out and keep their mouths shut. Simple,
direct, honest - few films have so much credibility. Still, for an
understandable commercial reason, Mrs Cardinale's role became bigger
than it was in the novel.
