(034) GANG WAR IN MILAN (1973) Umberto Lenzi/Marisa Mell
(034) GANG WAR IN MILAN (1973) Umberto Lenzi/Marisa Mell
6053DVD
 

  

original Italian title MILANO ROVENTE [Milano Heat] also known as BURNING CITY

director: Umberto Lenzi
starring Antonio Sabato · Philipe Leroy · Marisa Mell · Antonio Casagrande · Tano Cimarosa

    

Of course, Umberto Lenzi is best known to cult fans for his horror movies [especially those in the cannibal genre, EATEN ALIVE and CANNIBAL FEROX], but true fans of Golden-Age Italian films should not ignore his "Polizischi." These were crime movies, often sleazier, grittier and - in fact - more horrific than horror films themselves [see Lenzi's ALMOST HUMAN (Milano Odia) for the best example].

The movie is - as the title suggests - about a gang war in Milan, between Sicilian pimp-thugs and French-connected drug dealers. The leaders of the Italian pimps are Salvatore 'Toto' Cangemi (played by Antonio Sabato) teamed with ruthless godfather Billy Barone (Alessandro Sperli) versus an equally vicious French gang led by Roger Daverty (Philippe Leroy). However, the graphic violence is mostly aimed at prostitutes who get raped, beaten and tortured in numerous segments [but, in fairness, there is also a gangster whose testicles are introduced to a car battery]. Marisa Mell is Jasmina, an upper-class girlfriend of Boss Toto.

Lenzi's film is shockingly amoral, licentious and depraved.
But beware... this 'polizischi' is nothing like Hollywood crime films.
