A Estrangeira

The shady side of an Italian textile trade in northern Germany is the subject of this slowpaced but atmospheric drama featuring Alberto Sordi as Totonno a lowlevel petty criminal anxious to move up a somewhat crooked ladder Rising to the rank of the dons Don Raffaele Carmine Ippolito or Don Gennaro Pasquale Cenammo is not an easy task as Totonno is about to find out In the meantime Paula Belinda Lee provides a romantic distraction and another wouldbe entrepreneur opts for the straight and narrow This uneven feature offers some colorful performances but the sum is less convincing than its parts
