The Italian Connection
When the Godfather signs your contract... there's no place in the world you can hide!
Directed by Fernando Di Leo
Produced by Cineproduzioni Daunia 70, Hermes Synchron
A darkly comedic 1970s Italian crime thriller where a framed small-time criminal becomes caught between competing mob factions in a brutal game of survival.
When a shipment of heroin disappears between Italy and New York, a small-time pimp in Milan is framed for the theft. Two professional hitmen are dispatched from New York to find him, but the real thieves want to get rid of him before the New York killers get to him to eliminate any chance of them finding out he's the wrong man.
