Review of Mafia

Mafia (1968)
7/10
Similar theme as The Ox Bow Incident: beware of "mob" rule

Wow,the composer of the music for The Godfather could be cited for plagiarism. LISTEN to this production. Ah yes this is a more accurate account of what the "Black Hands " are all about. Deceit,obfuscation, murder and corruption of government. Performances are okay a little overdone in spots. Something very Italian to the whole production. Sound is not well produced and camera movement can be distracting. The mafia as an entity is the main character. The organization was at that time even in Sicily openly discussed as "no such thing." What one should perceive from watching this film is the fundamental institutionalization of that concept. The social imperatives on the island perpetuate that pernicious myth.
