Eurocrime! The Italian Cop and Gangster Films That Ruled the '70s(en)
2012-03-30

Perhaps even more interesting than the films themselves were the rushed methods of production (stars performing their own stunts, stealing shots, no live sound) and the bleed-over between real-life crime and movie crime.
