Vittorio Sindoni Movies
- 1984
Giuseppe Fava and Vittorio Sindoni created a series of fictionalized television programs in Sicily that include scenes of poverty, deprivation, and unemployment as well as exposés of the Mafia's activities on the island. Sindoni culled excerpts from these programs to create this one-hour film. Fava plays the part of a reporter who interviews people from all walks of life, an apt role for him since he was a journalist (who focused on exposing the Mafia, in fact). Fava was murdered in 1984, making this docudrama a tribute to his heroism and an important film for viewers who care about those who fight pollution, in any form. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

- 1968
Vittorio Sindoni directed this weak thriller variation on the shopworn inheritance-murder plot. Family patriarch Oscar dies on the job at a railroad, leaving three daughters and a retarded son, Janot (Ernesto Colli), whom he had adopted. The will states that the daughters can't inherit until Janot's 21st birthday, three years in the future. People start being killed one by one, until only two remain. Faked deaths, official conspiracies and annoying characters abound. The beautiful Femi Benussi co-stars with horror veteran Tom Drake, Virginia Gazzolo, and Jeanette Lens. Composer Silvano Spadaccini makes a cameo appearance as a truck driver, although the film itself was scored by Stefano Torossi. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide
