Italian Crime Movie with Luc MERENDA and James MASON

Luc Merenda and the revenge of a desperate fatherThe widowed motorcycle mechanic Mario Colella (Luc Merenda) lovingly looks after his son Fabrizio (Marco Liofredi). One day he and a classmate are kidnapped in front of school in broad daylight. The boss (Marino Mase) of the blackmailers demands 10 billion ITL ransom. Completely impossible for the penniless Mario, but the other boy is the child of the rich construction lion Filippini (James Mason) and his wife, Countessa Grazia (Valentina Cortese). The competent inspector Magrini (Vittorio Caprioli) intervenes, but the stubborn Filippini negotiates on his own and deliberately delays payment. The kidnappers lose their nerve and kill Fabrizio to reinforce their demands. Now there is no stopping the desperate Mario...Cult director Fernando Di Leo shot a typical revenge thriller of the time (a man takes action where the police and the system fail) in the style of Charles Bronson in Rome and Milan. CINECITTA was simply great when it came to creatively copying successful formulas from Hollywood. The plot is not necessarily logical, but it is very exciting and entertaining. Luc Merenda can't shine with differentiated acting, but he can do action scenes. A more exquisite achievement was achieved by Hollywood star James Mason (1909-1984), who shortly before his death would become the father-in-law of pop singer Belinda Carlisle. And Valentina Cortese was nominated for an ACADEMY AWARD for Best Supporting Actress in 1975, when the film was released in Italian cinemas (in German-speaking countries it was not released on video until the 1980s) with "La nuit americaine" by Francois Truffaut.Quite a quick contribution from the poliziottescho genre that is appealingly entertaining!
