Description
 
This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

In Italian with English subtitles. Also known as Day of the Owl and Mafia.

Widescreen. Directed by Damiano Damiani. Based on the Leonardo Sciascia novel of the same title, this story deals with the difficulties facing a northern police officer investigating a Mafia murder in a small Sicilian town in 1961. Salvatore Colasbena, a construction supplier, was murdered and buried under a blanket of tar because he refused to join the Mafia-controlled road-building group. His widow, Rosa (Claudia Cardinale), is investigated by the police, but honest Captain Bellodi (Franco Nero) comes to suspect Mafia boss Don Mariano Arena when he can find no witnesses, no evidence, only hostile obstruction by corrupt government influences.

5 of 5 Damiani and Cardinale October 1, 2016
Reviewer: Jon DiBenedetto from West Hartford, CT United States  
Excellent movie by the under rated director Damiano Damiani. Cardinale is superb as is Franco Nero.

3 of 5 Two superb performances. March 9, 2016
Reviewer: James from SE PA United States  
Cardinale (the wife at loose ends) and Tano Cimarosa (a flunky of the Don's) outshine a good cast, due in part to the script, but also because their acting chops are stellar. Nero's contribution is hard to tell, he's just too distractingly beautiful (and that's saying something, with Cardinale in the mix), which probably unfairly undercuts his legitimacy as an actor. A good story overall, an acceptable end, but nothing to really knock one's socks off.
