The Day of the Owl

Il giorno della civetta
1968 108 min Drama · Crime

What are 'friends' for...? Why, for murder, terror, extortion, violence and other profitable enterprises!

You arrive in a Sicilian village to investigate a murdered contractor and uncover a silent system pulling even outsiders under. The air smells of salt and compromise. Damiani frames the Mafia not as monsters but as the town’s quiet operating system.

Directed by Damiano Damiani · Written by Ugo Pirro, Damiano Damiani

Starring Franco Nero, Claude Cardinale, Lee J. Cobb, Tano Cimarosa, Nehemiah Persoff, Serge Reggiani
