About Don't Trust the Mafia
Montano's corpse is found after being kidnapped by Maurice. The police think then to use the same ways criminals use and to infiltrate Tony Lo Bianco in the gang. Tony is a former FBI agent sent back to Italy for many crimes. Police Superintendent Ferrari disagrees but Tony begins his operations and meets Paulette, the Maurice's daughter. Tony and Paulette find out that perhaps Maurice is not responsible for Montano's death and they discover they have to start a real battle to save their lives.
Directed by Mario Bianchi, Don't Trust the Mafia leans on a strong ensemble — Gabriele Tinti, Paola Senatore, Richard Harrison — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1979.
