Set in a non-descript Midwestern town during the 1950s, this fable chronicles the last days in the life of local Mafioso Don Antonio Barracano (Anthony Quinn). During preparations for his 75th birthday celebration, he muses upon his life. While he thinks, his wife Armida continues her campaign to keep her eldest son from entering the family business. Trouble brews for Don Antonio when he learns that his stubborn colleague Arturo is refusing to help out his own financially strapped, estranged son who is trying to do right by his pregnant girlfriend. Don Antonio tries to restore family harmony by intervening, but his plans backfire and a tragedy ensues. The plot is adapted from Eduardo de Filippo's drama Il Sindaco del Rione Sanita (1960). ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Cristina is passionate, charming, magnetic and forceful, and when she gets involved with Sergio while he is studying at the university, the experience is nearly overwhelming for him. He is easygoing and somewhat aimless; she is determined to have a career as an opera singer. Soon enough she is pregnant and they have a son. He is bemused by the whole experience; she is progressively more irritated by his puzzlement. Before long she has abandoned Sergio and her son, taking work as a singer in Paris. Four years later, this supremely self-concerned woman comes back and wants to claim her son. However, Sergio has devoted the past four years of his life to the boy, and his parenting is not something to shrug off lightly. Enraged, she brings out her big guns, claiming she was pregnant when she met Sergio and that the child is not his. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
