Socially critical gangster film from Naples with Fabio TESTI and Jean SEBERG
The film by Pasquale SQUITIERI was released in West German cinemas in 1973 and, in addition to action-packed sections, also offers a good insight into the underworld of the city on Vesuvius.
After two years, Tonino Russo (Fabio TESTI) finally comes out of prison. His parents (Lilla BRIGNONE and Ugo D'ÁLESSIO) hope for a regular life, but have made the calculation without Tonino's old friends. They involve him in a nasty stabbing, which is how he catches the eye of Don Mario (Raymond PELLEGRIN) and his wife Luisa (GOLDEN GLOBE nominee Jean SEBERG). Tonino quickly rises in the mafia hierarchy and is primarily concerned with gambling in beautiful Naples. Of course, the blonde Luisa can't get past the handsome boy, which of course leads to violent conflicts with Don Mario. One day the evildoer has Tonino's little brother kidnapped...
Exciting, socially critical and well cast - you can't expect more from a POLIZIOTTESCO. Other roles include the beautiful Germana CARNACINA (as Tonino's faithful fiancée Anna), Charles VANEL, Enzo CANNAVALE and the Swiss actor Paul MULLER.
Worth seeing!
