some parts shot really well with good vision, other times the courtroom drama is a bit hamfisted.

Gets heated, the way Italians like it, but otherwise much more realistic than most legal procedural films (Italians like that too). And while politically charged and sympathetic to its subjects, it's a rather straightforward telling of the scandalous true story. Montaldo's presentation seems generally honest, well-crafted and certainly vivid. I do wonder whether it might have been better for him to film this in English, in keeping with the Massachusetts setting.

So scary, that if this wasn't a true story, you would think it was ridiculous.
