Confessions of a Police Captain
Ben Gazzara was approached to play Commmissario Bonavia, but turned it down. Years later, Martin Balsam thanked Gazzara, since the role had given his career a new lease on life.,Deputy D.A. Traini: You're no better than the racketeers you say you hate so much.,Permission to shoot in the Basile Room was graciously offered by the Grand-Hotel Villa Igiea of Palermo,Edited into Lo schermo a tre punte (1995),The other reviewer here is spot on , this is a fantastic film by any standards... Forget any prejudice you may have for imported or dubbed films (the main actors dub themselves) and enjoy this intelligent and intense movie. Damiani who directed the amazing 'Bullet for the General' is a fascinating and serious film maker and a real class act when on top form.. Add Franco Nero in a great performance and Martin Balsam, one of the finest character actors ever and you've got a little known classic.. I'm currently tracking down other 70's Damiani movies on the strength of this!!!,
