Can I Eat A Banana With Gallstones

A policeman uncomfortable.

Film of 1978, with Maurizio Merli, Olga Karlatos. Directed by Stelvio Massi.
Commissioner Olmi is on duty in Rome. Is found at the edge of the Tiber, the corpse of a girl. It is immediately clear that this is a murder. The inspector visits the called by a homeless man who had spent the night nearby. They start investigating and collecting evidence, some made spontaneously by the use of other methods not quite orthodox. The second murder was that of the girl's boyfriend found dead. The charred corpse is found inside a 500 also set on fire along with the corpse. Olmi soon arrive to the principals of the double murder identifying a group of children of fathers with whom the couple had to do before I die. Among these there is also the scion of Degan, a rich customs officer involved in a confusing traffic of diamonds. A man without scruples able to eliminate two guys that maybe they had stuck his nose into business. Degan able to escape to Switzerland (not before he planted another victim), thanks to the foolishness of a judge skeptical of the evidence collected by Olmi. The Commissioner understands that a few choices: either go against a system of power that makes life difficult for the police (the "massacre" is an eloquent account of quaestor) or let it go and maybe take the opportunity to fly in the province transferred via .
Olmi opts for the second street and go to direct the Commissioner of Civitanova Marche (hometown of director Massi). The reality of the province is at first sight much more soporific than the big cities you can also make nice knowledge (Olga Karlatos). Apart from some trouble everything seems to spin smoothly, until the inspector did not run into a band of misfits aboard a motorcycle that sowing panic in the town, firing a revolver. Olmi is obviously interested in knowing the origin of the "iron" and is able to obtain information with its tried and tested methods. It does bring to the place, just across the sea, where the gun was found and immediately notice the signs of tire Tir and a piece of reflective ground. At this point it is difficult to trace to a company transport operating in Civitanova, do a quick survey and find out the truck with the reflector broken. Olmi soon becomes clear that this is an arms trafficking, but is aware that not everyone within the company are aware of them. So demand collaboration. The traffic, as then it will be found watching the movie ends with a wealthy businessman in the area, apparently unexpected.

It is a proven pair of classic detective Massi-Merli. A little twilight, as the tradition of the director of the Marche. Merli not dubbed, but able to move as his familiarity with the minimum use of stunt doubles even in the most dangerous scenes (there are some).
The film is the result of two medium-length films: the first shot in Rome, the second in Civitanova Marche. Interesting the ideas that tend to highlight the changes taking place in the late 70 companies, such as the advent of commercial television, or a choice between social engagement and "reflux" to a more private sphere.
E 'to be reported, in addition, at least one scene that seems clearly inspired by the Moro kidnapping occurred just in 1978 (the film has seen a complaint of December 1978 is therefore almost certain that it was shot after March, where the tragic event occurred ).
Civitanova Marche is given, then an overview of symptoms very suggestive of the Stelvio Massi had particular affection for their city. Music by Stelvio Cipriani. Less, "protagonists" than usual, but still capable to blend well with the various moments of the film. The good is characterized by the first "inserts" of electronics. Overall a film that I recommend, especially to those who love the genre. It 's a DVD that can be put into your drive after a long day at work and a good shower for wanting to spend an evening without much thought.
