Synopsis
lnvestigating the murder of a young woman in a small English town, a brusque Superintendent (John Mills – Hobson's Choice, Ice CoId in Alex, Young Winston) discovers that virtually everybody he encounters has something to hide. Setting the tempIate for British crime thrilIers for decades to come, director John GuiIlermin’s audacious, often salacious, drama is untypicaI of mainstream British cinema of its time, and can be seen as both a direct antecedent of the Italian giaIIo and a bIueprint for David Lynch's Twin Peaks. Town on TriaI is a rare treat which is ripe for rediscovery.
