THE VALACHI PAPERS (BLU-RAY)

“A hard-hitting, violence-ridden documented melodrama of the underworld covering more than three decades. Terence Young, who directs forcefully, hits a shock note.”
- Variety

“Young’s direction is solid and eye-pleasing (thanks in no small part to the slick cinematography by Aldo Tonti)… When the action hits, it’s ugly and gritty and violent and Bronson manages to accomplish his climb up the mafia ladder with style and that cold sense of menace that's so easily and rightfully associated with many of his performances.”
- Ian Jane, DVDtalk.com

Adapted from Peter Maas’ best-seller, The Valachi Papers (1972) tells the true story of Mafia informant Joseph Valachi, superbly incarnated here by Charles Bronson. A low-level gangster associated with the Genovese crime family, Valachi moves from punk to full-fledged gangster over the course of the brutal narrative, handsomely directed by Terence Young. Also starring the great Lino Ventura, Jill Ireland, and Joseph Wiseman, and featuring an effective score from Riz Ortolani.
