Directed by Paolo Benvenuti, Segreti Di Stato (Secret File) is a pseudo-documentary chronicling an old political incident which many Italians believe to be a violently anti-Communist plot masterminded by the Christian Democratic Party and bandit Salvatore Giuliano. Most of the focus centers on the trial held after Giuliano's death; though he himself was out of the picture, his right-hand man was left sitting in prison. The investigation is led by good-hearted lawyer Antonio Catania, who researches mounds of documentation and forensic evidence in hopes of delving to the conspiracy's center. The film features David Coco, Aldo Puglisi, Sergio Graziani, and Francesco Guzzo.
