Salvatore Giuliano

Salvatore Giuliano (1961) starring Frank Wolff, Salvo Randone, Federico Zardi. Between 1945 and 1950, Salvatore Giuliano was the most wanted criminal in Sicily. In 1950 he was killed, and this documentary-like drama starts from that point and looks backward at his career as an outlaw. At first supposedly fighting for the independence of Sicily, he later becomes just a criminal in the streets -- although he is a folk hero to many Sicilians. In Italian, with English subtitles. The subtitles are gray against a black-and-white background. Very hard to read. Grade: C
