About The Murderer is in the House
A murder has been committed in a block of flats in Pest. Almost all the dwellers of the building behave in a suspicious way at the beginning of the investigation, although it is their everyday lapses they try to hide. In spite of the janitor's unpleasant comments, light is gradually thrown upon the case.
Directed by Róbert Bán, The Murderer is in the House leans on a strong ensemble — Dezső Garas, Stanisław Mikulski, Tamás Major — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1971.
