i watched a pristine blu ray print of fernando di leo's CALIBER 9. this is my second watch. loved the background score by LUIS BACALOV the over the top acting by MARIO ADORF, complicated plot and the nude ravishing cabaret dancing BARBARA BOUCHET. i also realized that GASTONE MOCHIN, the dour hero acted as fanucci in GODFATHER 2. this is like an over the top version of JEAN PIERRE MELVILLE movie. there are a lot of similar themes and tropes. honor and friendship between gangsters. philosophizing police officers. women used as objects of sex. the violence is almost caricaturish. the first 15 minutes of the film is fucking outrageous. strongly recommend it. (9/10)

Lionel Stander, one of those blacklisted actors by HUAC, who had a long career as a character actor in all kinds of European movies, later became known again in USA as Max the butler of all trades on TV-series Hart to Hart.
