although i be grateful this obscure gem of 70 italian exploitation cinema feature in the recently release grindhouse experience box set and and although it also available on disc under the misleading and stupid alternate title escape from death row and i honestly think it deserve a proper and luxurious dvd edition and completely in it originally speak language with subtitle option ( the dubbing be truly horrible ) and restored picture quality and a truckload of special bonus feature . heck and i do not even need the restored picture quality and bonus feature if only we could watch the film in it original language . mean frank and crazy tony be a cheerfully fast paced mafia or crime flick with a lot of violence and comedy ( which and admittedly and doesn not always work ) and feminine beauty and two witty main character . tony lo bianco be terrific a the small thug pretending to be the city big don . when the real crime lord frankie dio ( lee van cleef ) arrive in town and he see an opportunity to climb up the ladder by offer his service . frankie initially ignore the little crook and but they do eventually form an unlikely team when frankie entire criminal empire turn against him and a new french criminal mastermind even assassinate frankie innocent brother . tony help frankie to escape from prison and together they head for marseille to extract frankie revenge . the script of this sadly neglect crime gem funnily alters gritty action and suspense with light head bit of comedy and like the grotesque car chase through the narrow french mountain road for example . the build up towards the typical mafia execution sequence ( guide by an excellent riz ortolani score ) be extremely tense and the actual killing be sadistic and merciless and which be probably why the film be consider to be somewhat of a grindhouse classic . the film lack a strong female lead and a the lovely and amazingly voluptuous beauty edwige fenech sadly just appear in a couple of scene and and then still in the background . on of the men behind the camera and responsible for the superb cinematography and be no less then joe damato . great film and highly recommend to fan of italian exploitation and and i hope to watch it again soon in it original version .
