The real-life deportation of gangster Lucky Luciano was the inspiration
for this romanticized and slightly crack-brained crime drama. Jeff
Chandler plays the Luciano counterpart, who once he arrives in Italy
renews his criminal activities. Chandler masterminds a black-market
racket, capitalizing upon wartime shortages in Europe. He falls in love
with a Contessa (Marta Toren), who is the benign patroness of the small
village where he lives. Under her influence, Chandler abandons his life of
crime, turns his back on the ill-gotten gains that he's already smuggled
into Italy, and becomes a pillar of the community. And if you believe that,
We have some land in Florida we'd like to show you.
