Review of Mafioso

Mafioso (1962)
8/10
Excellent comedy about an honest sicilian turned into a 'mafioso' killer !
21 August 2002
Warning: Spoilers
The actor Alberto Sordi plays the part of an honest sicilian, just married with a woman from the more 'liberated' Northern Italy, who returns to Sicily to introduce his wife to his very traditional family ! Creating not few cultural conflicts, however she is in the end well accepted , even the local Sicilians look at her with more curiosity than suspicion ! Alberto Sordi plays the part of a meleodramatic Sicilian very well, and the first hour of the film is very funny, but afterwards becomes too serious as he is smuggled into the States to be a mafioso killer !

Anyway just for the acting excellence of Alberto Sordi this film gets a 8 vote from me !
