Review of Massacre in Rome (1973) by Paul D — 05 Sep 2008
A depressing war story about the partisans fighting off the jerrys in italy and what the german army did in retaliation for an attack. however the most interesting part was not played by richard burton as the no nonsense colenel but by marcello mastroianni as father pietro antonelli who's struggling to come to terms with the lack of interest and help from the vatican (a religious order he believes in).
mostly this film is about the different characters struggling with what's happening in it. more psychological than action packed. another solid film from george p. cosmatos, the director of the cassandra crossing.
