New on Blu-ray: THE IRON PREFECT / I AM THE LAW / IL PREFETTO DI FERRO (1977)

The Iron Prefect 1977 New On Bluray

Product Description: THE ITALIAN CRIME CLASSIC FROM DIRECTOR PASQUALE SQUITIERI FEATURING A SCORE FROM AWARD WINNING COMPOSER ENNIO MORRICONE MAKES IT’S BLU-RAY DEBUT IN THIS LIMITED EDITION RELEASE! Based on the true story of Cesare Mori, the Iron Prefect who was sent to Sicily for an Eliot Ness-in-The Untouchables style clean up of the mafia. Mori approaches organised crime on the island with uncompromising force even in the face of mass murders designed to scare him off. Pasquale Squitieri (The Climber) directs this stunning period piece which won the David di Donatello award for best film and features spaghetti western icon Giuliano Gemma brilliantly playing against type as the titular hero, winning him an award for his performance at the prestigious Karlovy Vary Film Festival. Alongside Gemma are the cream of international film from the period with co-stars Claudia Cardinale (The Day of the Owl) and Francisco Rabal (Sorcerer), the key surveyor of Italy's civic cinema screenwriter Ugo Pirro (The Working Class Goes to Heaven) and legendary composer Ennio Morricone (Once Upon a Time in America).
