Lucky Luciano (1973)

Lucky Luciano: Directed by Francesco Rosi. With Gian Maria Volontè, Vincent Gardenia, Silverio Blasi, Charles Cioffi. Biopic of Mafia boss Lucky Luciano, covering his life from 1946 to 1962 with occasional flashbacks.

“If you want to watch Gian Maria, the greatest actor of all time, at his best, watch him in u0026quot;Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicionu0026quot;, u0026quot;Le Cercle Rougeu0026quot;, u0026quot;For a Few Dollars Moreu0026quot; or u0026quot;I Am Afraidu0026quot;, he worked much much better with Petri, Melville, Leone and Damiani. This one is very boring and Volontè doesnu0026#39;t appear much. And when he appears, he has the same face that does not say too much. This role did not quite fit him. Rosiu0026#39;s films, most of them, are a special genre, very close to the documentary, very hard to follow, you got to have a patience of steel…”
