Synopsis

Luciano Lutring is a dangerous fugitive in Italy where he meets Candida, a nightclub singer, and they fall in love. On their back is Candida’s lover Franco Magni, a two-bit gangster. Powered by his new-found fame and reputation, Lutring increasingly becomes more and more reckless.

MUBI's take

Based on the story of a real gangster, our first film presages the trend of Italian crime films in the 70s while judiciously riffing off the criminal romance of the New Wave. Co-starring Gian Maria Volontè, it clearly highlights the diverse genre mastery of Italian director Carlo Lizzani.
