The Passion of Slow Fire (1961) follows a quiet English teacher in a small Swiss town whose life unravels after a young American woman he knows is found murdered. As suspicion from police and townspeople mounts, his reputation and sanity begin to crumble under the weight of circumstantial evidence and paranoia. This tense psychological drama explores guilt, alienation, and moral decay beneath the veneer of respectability.
