The Trial

Director/writer Orson Welles took what was once considered an unfilmable novel by Franz Kafka and created a nightmarish vision of a simple clerk named Josef K. (Anthony Perkins), who is abducted and charged with an unspecified crime by an unspecified agency. Multi-national production whose reputation has grown over time co-stars Jeanne Moreau, Romy Schneider, Elsa Martinelli, Suzanne Flon, Akim Tamiroff, and Welles as Josef’s defense advocate. 118 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
