This is Yul Brynner's final film, though he lived another decade after completing this Italian film. Not surprisingly, it's been dubbed into English and the two American stars in the film, Brynner and Martin Balsam, provide their own voices in the English language version. How much the two versions differ, I have no idea. But this one downloaded from archive.org is the English one and, oddly, the sound and video are about 4 seconds off!
The film is about revenge. Years before, Peter Marciani (Brynner) was shocked when his brother was murdered--and now a mob boss has told him who was responsible because they want the guy killed. So, like a crazed but cool character (a bit like Lee Van Cleef in his Italian films), he works to bring down the murderer's mob...and he has the help of two people. One is a beautiful woman who inexplicably falls for Marciani and LOVES to take off her clothes (making this a very explicit film) and a young guy who wants to be a hit-man just like Marciani.
The film is short on plot and her high on action, death and nudity. Mindlessly enjoyable...making it far from a must-see but decent entertainment.
score 6/10
