Synopsis
Jeanne de Romer ( Dita Parlo), fille ruinée, fait vivre quatre personnes : sa mère, un grand-père paralysé, un frère et une sœur, avec son modeste salaire. Son patron (Paul Pauley) étant arrêté pour escroquerie, elle est acculée à la misère. Dans la "rue sans joie" où elle demeure, Madame Geffier (Marguerite Deval), qui tient une louche maison de couture, l'attire chez elle et la fait s'endetter pour quelques robes. Puis elle veut la livrer à un riche marchand de bestiaux (Pierre Alcover). Un crime est commis dans un meublé de la "Geffier" au moment même où Jeanne fuit les brutalités du marchand de bestiaux. Un aventurier (Valery Inkijinoff), découvert comme étant le dernier amant de la victime, Léa Level (Mila Parely), est inculpé d'assassinat, puis la Geffier dénonce Jeanne de Romer comme complice. Le journaliste Albert Dumas (Albert Préjean), convaincu de l'innocence de Jeanne mène son enquête.Actors

Set in Rome and its surroundings, the film tells in a frighteningly realistic, ruthless and grotesque the evil of two powerful men of Italy in the seventies: a Director of illegal buildings (Vittorio Gassman), extremist fascist, and an upright judge, cynical looking in part to the Italian law (Ugo Tognazzi). Both can not stand each other, given the contrasts between the two men in any social, political and philosophical. Everyone hates each other and would like to delete it, but just because of the bad example that the two men give power to the people, many Italians are adversely affected because of cheating and rudeness of the fascist manufacturer and the communist magistrate. The director Dino Risi underlines the misdeeds and the weakness of the Italian people to react accordingly, by focusing on the story of these two men who are each other's opposite of the net.
