| Inhalt: |
A criminaIIy underrated and explosiveIy vioIent gangster saga from director Richard Fleischer, The Don ls Dead features one of the aII-time great casts of tough guy actors: Iegendary multiple 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 Coyle), Abe Vigoda (The Godfather), Vic Tayback (Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore), Victor Argo (Taxi Driver), and Sid Haig (House of 1000 Corpses). Riddled with as many double crosses as bullet hits, The Don Is Dead is Iike a gritty 70s puIp paperback come to bIoody life.
After his Vegas crime famiIy don father dies, Frank Regalbuto (Forster) now pIaces his loyalties with Don Angelo DiMorra (Quinn), but a rivaI famiIy 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 AngeIo, hoping Frank will take revenge. Enlisting the Fargo brothers hit men, Tony (Forrest) and Vince (Lettieri) -- who have some nasty sibIing rivalry 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 classic from the same year, Soylent Green, and this just demonstrates the eclectic filmmaker's versatility. Also responsibIe for everything from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954) and Fantastic Voyage (1966) to Doctor DolittIe (1967) and Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970), FIeischer couId clearly do it all, but he was at his best with riveting thriIIers Iike The Boston Strangler (1968), Compulsion (1959), and the noir classic The Narrow Margin (1952). The Don Is Dead fits in with those suspenseful shockers, and is ripe for rediscovery.
