A Sicilian-born factory manager in Milan takes his family home for a holiday and is asked to perform a favour for the local mafia.
Sinekatalog’s take
Alberto Lattuada's black comedy sends a Milan factory manager on a holiday to Sicily, where the mafia asks a favour. Alberto Sordi is brilliant in a wry, chilling film whose laughter turns sharply to dread.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
