The first great thriller by director Damiano Damiani, followed by many remarkable films in the 70s, such as "Io ho paura" with Gian Maria Volonte and "Un uomo in ginocchio" with Giuliano Gemma. "Il giorno della civetta" has a marvelous cast: Franco Nero just risen to stardom with "Django" (1966), Claudia Cardinale can be seen here a year before "Once Upon a Time in the West", and veteran tough guy Lee J Cobb. Sciascia's story about the murdered boss of a building company fits Damiano's way to illustrate his view on society: too many people are looking for the easy way out and keep their mouths shut. Simple, direct, honest - few films have so much credibility. Still, for an understandable commercial reason, Mrs Cardinale's role became bigger than it was in the novel.

A film that might be regarded as Nicholas Ray's farewell to Hollywood (if not commercial filmmaking), as well as his tribute to Chicago in 20s, this 1958 feature is also one of his most affecting love stories.

Cobb), forms the basis for a flamboyant poem in delirious color and scope that is treated with a mixture of violence and lyricism that is unique to Ray.

在《阿飛正傳》愛過、痛過、反叛過之後，尼古拉斯．雷執導了。這部被喻為他最具感染力的愛情電影。二十年代的芝加哥，瘸腿律師（羅伯特．泰勒）遇上美艷舞孃（賽德．查里斯）……兩個本來不可能遇上的人，卻因為要逃避一個黑幫惡漢（李科布）而情牽一線。尼古拉斯．雷在這部一九五八年黑色電影中，繼續發揮他的看家本領，把浮誇色彩、浪漫意境及詩意暴力共冶一爐，叫人看得嘖嘖稱奇。影片更影響了日後的美國黑幫電影，哥普拉的《教父》和狄龐馬的《義膽雄心》都難免有《派對女郎》的影子。
