Always in the wake of

the United States army.

Ask your generals why

they've appointed mayors

of the first liberated towns

in Sicily such men as

Calogero Vizzini and Genco Russo.

Men known and feared by all

as mafia bosses.

Ask your Colonel Charles Poletti

why, when he was governor in Naples,

did he choose as his partner

and right arm, Vito Genovese?

You knew better than we that Genovese

was a notorious Mafia boss!

Quiet! Salute the colonel!

Hey, Jim, I don't like your friend.

Bring me another one tomorrow, okay?

My boyfriend'll black my eyes

if I see another American.

Don't worry, they're always drunk,

and after.. nothing.

What I'd give for corned beef!

We've made one mistake in Sicily, dear

Genovese. We were too soft. - You're right!

The Colonel wants

the cooperation of all citizens

to end this scandal of the black market.

Severe penalties will be meted

out to the offenders.

A severe and strict rationing

will ensure with fairness

the aids that come from the

American people to the Italian people.

Viva America!

Viva Italia!

This makes 5 tons of wheat..

And 1000 drums of olive oil.

Look, "the bearer is authorized to

transport, buy and sell oil and wheat. "

"Not to be requisitioned. "

- Then we'll need aat least twenty trucks.

You name it, we got it.

But watch out for those drivers.

They're all black, they're all thieves.

They'll suck the gas out of your tanks.

Sonofabitch!

Here's a pass for the gasoline.

No name or limit. All that you want.

Fine.

We'd better unload at San Giuseppe,

the MPs went to Resina last night.

Burn the trucks afterward.

Leave no trace.

Hey, Mike, you gotta throw in the

Packard too, or the deal's off.

Take it. I gotta go back soon to

New York anyway. - OK, clear it!

Hey, what about these blacks?

Sell them with all their clothes.

Don't you have any shame in front

of the Americans? Get out of here!

Do you see this pretty blonde?

It's the first Packard to come to Italy.

Really?

- Want to try it?

Why, is it yours?

- Get on, let's go for a ride.

We must appoint a new magistrate and

a president for the Naples Bank. - Sure!

There's a lot of people with backings who

want to get into the act, but don't worry.

I made up a list of true antifascists,

real friends of America that

I personally guarantee.

Oh, by the way, I need more passes

to bring in oil, gas and everything else.

But the real problem

is to give electricity to the industries.

But those who want it

just gotta pay for it, right'?

This ain't Russia. We don't give it away.

Right, colonel? - Right!

You like the car'?

Keep it.

And by the way, tell us why you gave

Lucky Luciano his credentials

Francesco Rosi

Francesco Rosi (15 November 1922 – 10 January 2015) was an Italian film director. His film The Mattei Affair won the Palme d'Or at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival. Rosi's films, especially those of the 1960s and 1970s, often appeared to have political messages. While the topics for his later films became less politically oriented and more angled toward literature, he continued to direct until 1997, his last film being the Primo Levi book adaptation The Truce. At the 2008 Berlin International Film Festival 13 of his films were screened, in a section reserved for film-makers of outstanding quality and achievement. He received the Honorary Golden Bear for Lifetime Achievement, accompanied by the screening of his 1962 film Salvatore Giuliano. In 2012 the Venice Biennale awarded Rosi the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement. more…
