Godfather of Crime

The underworld of the notorious Sicilian mafia is the setting for this Italian gangster saga about an innocent young man's unwitting submersion into a life of crime. Echoes of Coppola's "The Godfather" and Scorsese's "Goodfellas" can be plainly heard in a tale that brings in the entire spectrum of crime and punishment, from international gang syndicates to the courtrooms where justice can finally be served. Italian legends Aldo Fabrizi and Vittoria de Sica lend their magnetic presence to this high-stakes, guns-blazing morality tale from the ranks of Europe's treasured cult cinema.
