What happens

L'arma, l'ora, il movente, internationally released as The Weapon, the Hour, the Motive, is a 1972 Italian giallo film produced, co-written and directed by Francesco Mazzei. It is the first giallo that showed a corrupt priest as victim of a crime, a plot that would become a topos of the genre. Co-plotter Marcello Aliprandi went on to create another similar film in 1982, involving murder and Catholicism, entitled The Vatican Conspiracy. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
