Prefetto di Ferro, Il (1977, ITA) C-121m. SCOPE *** D: Pasquale Squitieri. Starring Giuliano Gemma, Claudia Cardinale, Stefano Satta Flores, Massimo Mollica, Rik Battaglia, Paul Muller, Fernando Rabal. Difficult, at times powerful saga of the "iron prefect" Cesare Mori, whose aim was to rid Sicily of the powerful grasp of the Mafia in the 1920s. Gemma is excellent in the title role and carries the whole film, which remains sometimes too uninvolving. Cardinale plays a struggling housewife, who has her own complaints with Mori's methods. Based on the novel by Arrigo Petacci. Score by Ennio Morricone. English title: THE IRON PREFECT.
