From NYTimes.com: “The Italian filmmaker Francesco Rosi followed his 1962 historical epic, “Salvatore Giuliano,” about a charismatic bandit who took over Sicily in the late 1940’s, with this scathing contemporary story. It is about a far less dashing scoundrel, a real estate speculator and corrupt politician played by Rod Steiger (dubbed in Italian), who takes over the city government of Naples, distributing power and favors, rather than rifle bullets, to get his way.”
