Quelli Della Calibro 38 (aka Colt 38 Special Squad) (1976)

After his wife is murdered on orders from a ruthless crime lord (Ivan Rassimov), a police captain (Marcel Bozzuffi) forms a secret squad of rogue cops to stop the mobster's hold on the city. Not to be deterred, the crime lord fights back and the city of Turin turns into a war zone. Directed by Massimo Dallmano (WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SOLANGE?), this was his final film as he died in an auto accident shortly after the movie's completion. I liked this police thriller. It's gritty and violent and full of action and some impressive car and motorcycle stunt work. The acting is decent too with Bozzuffi and Carol Andre as the girlfriend of one of the mobster's thugs (Antonio Marsina) standing out. There's an effective underscore by Stelvio Cipriani. One of the better poliziottesco films of the 70s. With Grace Jones, Riccardo Salvino, Giancarlo Bonuglia and Fabrizio Capucci.
