Prosecutors in Nevada's Pershing County, a largely desert area with only 3,500 residents, are not sure that California will ever send Gallego to the gas chamber. So they have charged him with the rape and murder of four teen-age girls in their county. The trial may cost $60,000, which the county, its budget already in the red, cannot afford. But residents of both Nevada and California are contributing to a prosecution fund. So far, about $2,500 has been donated. Says Pershing County District Attorney Richard Wagner: "California has a very liberal state supreme court...

Visually unexceptional, narratively straightforward, Carpi's film is neverthe-less intricately worked out psychologically. It plays like a lovely chamber piece, and its actors work with a good musical quartet's instinctive politesse and self-effacing skill, muting individual flights in deference to total effect.
