English title: The Reprieve
A woman tries to get away from her violent husband, with help from the latter's brother, for whom she develops feelings.
Melodrama. While not especially remarkable, it's not totally devoid of interest either. As a depiction of the atmosphere of a small town and of male oppression (a theme which is still relevant in some parts of the world) it's passable; at some point it becomes a prison movie, and moderately entertaining at that. Another plus is the good performance by the actor who plays the villain.
Rating: 38
