{"product_id":"the-smiling-maniacs","title":"The Smiling Maniacs","description":"Corrupt Italian politician Carlo Goja has friends in very high places - specifically in the Palace of Justice. Dozens of investigations into judicial corruption have led nowhere, because a damning dossier that could topple the entire nefarious edifice has been hidden. Goja's mistress is raped after she vows to testify against him. Suspicion and violence pit everyone against each other, and paranoia  reigns in the hallowed halls of the courts. As all eyes franticly search for the missing dossier, the threat of murder, assault, accusation and arrest makes every judge fear for his future.\u003cp\u003eAcclaimed veteran character actor Martin Balsam stars in this atmospheric Italian production, originally titled \u003ci\u003eCorruzione al Palazzo di Giustizia\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eCorruption in the Palace of Justice\u003c\/i\u003e).
