Crime Boss (Italian: I familiari delle vittime non saranno avvertiti, "The victims' families won't be told" ) is a 1972 Italian crime film directed by Alberto De Martino.

Production

Crime Boss was filmed at Incir-De Paolis Film Studios in Rome and on location in Milan, Palermo, Rome and Hamburg.[1] Director Alberto De Martino joked about the film later, stating it was "the story of Caesar and Brutus, essentially [...] a bit like Shakespears so to speak."[2]

Release

Crime Boss was released theatrically in Italy on 8 August 1972 where it was distributed by P.A.C.[1] The film grossed 498,812,000 Italian lire on its domestic release.[1]

Reception

From a retrospective review, film historian Roberto Curti praised Aristide Massaccesi's "efficient camerawork" but that the film does not "live up to its impressive opening", noting that Lucio Battistrada's screenplay "becomes cliché-ridden" and that Antonio Sabàto was "wooden as usual".[1][2]
