    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      John Cassavetes was part of the original production but he became ill and filming was delayed for three weeks. In the end, he was replaced by Rip Torn. This, at least, was the story put out by the film's publicists at the time - however, later accounts tend simply to say that Cassavetes walked off the movie.
    • Quotes
      • Capo Riccione: In my day a man like Mitchell would already lie stinking in the sun. Tell us, why a man like Mitchell, a "Mitchell," can know so much about our affairs? There is not a dollar that comes from heroin, whores, horses or protection that he hasn't handled, hasn't counted. He knows every name, every face, every business of everyone in the family. And what your family would not trust to their *blood*, they trusted to Mitchell. Where is he?
      • Dano Villanova: He'll be found, Capo.
    • Crazy credits
      [Postscript] "Many nations are helping fight the world battle against vice. In the forefront of these is Mexico. To the Mexican authorities who fight this battle so valiantly, this picture is dedicated by its producers."
