In a confusing plot that seems to skip a few vital points, three men fight together to rescue children in a region near the Lao-Thai-Cambodian border. Then Paolo (Woody Strode) turns against his two buddies and sets up shop running arms for the KGB and drugs for the Mafia. Eventually, one of the three buddies comes hunting for Strode to offer him a better deal: the U.S. government will give him even more money for what he is selling. Before a huge question mark can be raised over this twist, the three former buddies are back together again and out on another mission. Logic might have been a good ingredient to add here, anywhere. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Adept at dissecting marriage as an essentially no-win institution, Luigi Comencini applies his directorial scalpel here through the viewpoints of ten-year-old Eugenio (Francesco Bonelli) and his parents. Giancarlo (Saverio Marconi) is a father who loves his wife, Fernanda (Dalila Di Lazzaro), and his son, but what he wants out of life is not necessarily compatible with the responsibilities of marriage and fatherhood. Likewise, Fernanda is torn between a more liberated existence and what she understands to be social restrictions. After Eugenio is abandoned on a road in the middle of nowhere by an irritated friend, a sequence of events is set in motion that highlights the underlying problems in his family. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Sandokan, the Indian rebel leader who opposed the British regime during the Victorian era, was the subject of several action-adventure films of the 1960s and 1970s. Few of these efforts were completely faithful to their source, Emilio Salgari's novel Le Tigre de Mompracem, but all were eagerly received by European film fans. In 1976, a TV-series version of the Sandokan legend emerged on the Continent. Kabir Bedi played the title role in this lavishly appointed effort, which enjoyed wide distribution (except in English-speaking countries). A feature-film version of the TV Sandokan was prepared late in'76, then released to American television. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
