About Accused of Murder
A group of drunken young people severely beat the couple in love. Subsequently, Aleksandr Shchetinin died in the hospital after receiving injuries from beatings. The court, chaired by Judge Khromova, is to pronounce the death sentence on one of the four participants in the fight, who committed the fatal blow that led to death.
Directed by Boris Volchek, Accused of Murder leans on a strong ensemble — Yelena Kozelkova, Mariya Prizvan-Sokolova, Yelena Dobronravova — 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 1969.
