TRAILER - THE VALACHI PAPERS (1972)



Underrated Italian gangster flick made when Charles Bronson's acting wasn't laced with chips of wood. Based on the true story of Joseph Valachi, the first informant to turn against the mob in the early 1960s. Early Bond director Terence Young does a good job with the material and gets a lot of out of his predominately Italian cast. Vicious castration scene near the end.
