Has anybody seen this Italian film from 1962?
It aired on Turner Classic Movies a couple of times - I think the most recent airing was within the last month or so. I would almost call it the Anti-Godfather. A very different look at things from an Italian perspective; very far removed from the American gangster movie. The film starts out as a comedic tale, then veers off into serious drama with a rather unsettling (to me) ending. Alberto Sordi is excellent in the lead.
Filmed in black and white in Italy (with a little bit of location shooting in NYC), this is definitely a film I would recommend.
Anyone else out there want to share an opinion on Mafioso?
Signor V.
"For me, there's only my wife..."
"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"
"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"
"It was a grass harp... And we listened."
"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"
"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
