Mano Nera - Prima della Mafia, Più della Mafia, La (1973, ITA) C-90m. ** D: Antonio Raccioppi. Starring Lionel Stander, Rosanna Fratello, Michele Placido, Luigi Pistilli, Philippe Leroy, Corrado Gaipa, Nino Vingelli, Roger Brown, Salvatore Billa. Modest mafia drama about young immigrant Placido, who tries to get by in New York City, then gets involved with the mafia. Same basic story told in dozens of other films at the time, this one does not stand out. Only good thing about it is Carlo Rustichelli's score. English title: THE BLACK HAND.
