| Z | comment |
A 1969 Algerian–French political thriller based on the assassination of Greek politician Gregoris Lambrakis, directed by Costa-Gavras and starring Jean-Louis Trintignant and Yves Montand.In an unnamed country (hinted to be Greece), an outspoken politician (named only as "the Deputy") is struck down after a peace rally and hospitalized. When he dies, a public prosecutor (Trintignant) is sent to look into his death and finds corruption, coverup, and much more.Notable for being darkly humorous and satirical, but still having quite a chilling ending. | |

| Z / int_113472aa | comment |
Miles Gloriosus: The military officers constantly boast of their courage and patriotism, and yet all they seem to do in the film is encourage thugs to beat up peaceful protesters, and plot assassinations of political opponents. When brought before the Public Prosecutor, several, including the General, declare if charged they will commit suicide rather than have their honor impugned. They do not, and in fact scurry away from the chamber afterwards trying to dodge the press. | |

Ripped from the Headlines | |
| Z / int_1616e13 | comment |
Ripped from the Headlines: The movie is based on the 1963 assassination of left-wing politician Gregoris Lambrakis, which played a part in destabilizing Greece and allowing the military coup of 1967. The main characters are very blatantly based on real persons: the Deputy is Lambrakis, the Magistrate is Christos Sartzetakis (who was twice arrested and tortured by the junta, and later served as President from 1985-1990), the General is arguably Georgios Papadopoulos, and so on. The movie's composer, Mikis Theodorakis, was himself arrested, detained, sent into internal exile and interned in a concentration camp at Oropos while the movie was being filmed - his soundtrack had to be smuggled out of Greece. He was released to exile in France after a year, at the intervention of Radical Party leader Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber. | |

Token Good Cop: Most of the cops seen are allied with the right-wing thugs and help cover up their persecution and assassination of their political enemies with gusto, but one beat cop does a good job of investigating the case until his superiors threaten him into stopping. Even then, he eventually tells the Magistrate investigating the case what happened. | |

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork | |
| Z / int_c3648b87 | comment |
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: The Public Prosecutor is a conservative who clearly doesn't like the Deputy's party when they happen to meet face to face, and whose initial thoughts when it seems increasingly likely that the Deputy's death is a murder is that it is the work of communists, either as a sympathy ploy or leftist squabbling. However, as the facts of the case become clearer (and the General's interference becomes more blatant), he winds up working with the Deputy's party to bring the conspiracy to light. | |

Hope Spot | |
| Z / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: The Public Prosecutor unravels the conspiracy, and the audience is treated to a montage of various military conspirators being charged with murder and sent to trial. Then the ending happens. | |

No Name Given: Almost everybody in the film. The public prosecutor is billed just as "Public Prosecutor." | |

Insistent Terminology | |
| Z / int_e563bf09 | comment |
Insistent Terminology: The Public Prosecutor repeatedly corrects anyone who refers to the assassination as a murder, preferring to call it an "incident." When the Public Prosecutor switches to calling it a "murder", the indictments of military officers starts rolling in. | |

| Z / int_f8e010ce | comment |
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Shown over and over by the CROC and future junta members, as they assume that every right-minded citizen will of course approve of their campaign of terror and assassination and are simply amazed that the Public Prosecutor does not agree. | |
