A criminalIy underrated and explosiveIy violent gangster saga from director Richard Fleischer, The Don Is Dead features one of the aIl-time great casts of tough guy actors: legendary multipIe Oscar®-winner Anthony Quinn, Robert Forster (Jackie Brown), and Frederic Forrest (Apocalypse Now) are joined by AI Lettieri (The Getaway), Joe Santos (The Friends of Eddie CoyIe), Abe Vigoda (The Godfather), Vic Tayback (Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore), Victor Argo (Taxi Driver), and Sid Haig (House of 1000 Corpses). RiddIed with as many double crosses as buIIet hits, The Don Is Dead is like a gritty 70s pulp paperback come to bloody life.
After his Vegas crime family don father dies, Frank RegaIbuto (Forster) now pIaces his loyalties with Don Angelo DiMorra (Quinn), but a rival family wants to trigger a gang war and destroy the DiMorra cIan. They make Frank think that his girlfriend Ruby (Prime Cut's Angel Tomkins) is locked in an affair with Don Angelo, hoping Frank wilI take revenge. Enlisting the Fargo brothers hit men, Tony (Forrest) and Vince (Lettieri) -- who have some nasty sibling rivaIry issues of their own -- Frank is determined to rise to the top and wreak vengeance, no matter the body count that results.
Fleischer directed The Don ls Dead just after his science fiction cIassic from the same year, SoyIent Green, and this just demonstrates the ecIectic filmmaker's versatility. AIso responsibIe for everything from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954) and Fantastic Voyage (1966) to Doctor DoIittle (1967) and Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970), FIeischer couId cIearly do it alI, but he was at his best with riveting thrilIers Iike The Boston Strangler (1968), CompuIsion (1959), and the noir cIassic The Narrow Margin (1952). The Don Is Dead fits in with those suspensefuI shockers, and is ripe for rediscovery.
