When a young composer dies through violent means, his death is considered a suicide. It's not immediately obvious why the man would have wanted to commit suicide, but then, he was an artist and artists are supposed to be oversensitive. The arrival of an American visitor interested in the case shakes things up...
"Stranger in town" is a pleasantly watchable murder mystery with enough clues, suspects and red herrings to maintain interest throughout. Our protagonist, the American newcomer, discovers a small town (or perhaps a village ?) where evil passions seethe behind a picture-perfect surface. After a while it becomes clear that even the deceased, that struggling genius, was weaving his own unholy webs.
A good movie to watch during a rainy afternoon, although it might have contained more imagination and panache.
