THE FAMILY (CITTA VIOLENTA aka VIOLENT CITY), 1970, 100 min. Dir. Sergio Sollima. Killer Charles Bronson is chased by double-crossers while on a vacation with main squeeze Jill Ireland and, after mucho mayhem, left for dead. But Bronson re-emerges from prison to hunt through the New Orleans underworld for his traitorous comrades. He gets more than he bargains for, running into duplicitous Ireland and her new hubby, mob boss Telly Savalas who wants to hire Bronson—and won’t take no for an answer. “One stylish action scene after another…whipped into a frenzy by Ennio Morricone’s shredded electro soundtrack…” – Grady Hendrix, New York Sun More on this movie!
CALIBER 9 (MILANO CALIBRO 9), 1972, 100 min. Right at the top of the finest crime films from maestro, Fernando Di Leo (THE BOSS, MISTER SCARFACE, TO BE TWENTY). Tough guy, Ugo (Gastone Moschin) is released from stir only to be harassed by an abusive police inspector (the great Frank Wolff in one of his final roles) and former gang partners led by sadistic Mario Adorf.

He hooks up with former girlfriend Barbara Bouchet and pal Philippe Leroy to try to even the odds. (Screened from a digital video source.) NOT ON DVD.
