International actors Franco Nero, James Whitmore and Fernando Rey pick up a few tax-free bucks in the Italian High Crime. The plot (perhaps cashing in on Rey's participation in 1971's The French Connection) involves a Mafia boss, at large in the city of Genoa. We can't tell the good guys from the bad guys at time, which may or may not be the point of this kaleidescopic film. Well, we lied: Franco Nero is the good guy, even if his tactics are sometimes a step below noble. Delia Boccardo is the woman in the case.
