Description

This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

In Italian with English subtitles. This film is also known as "The Mattei Case" and "The Mattei Affair".

Well-known actor Gian Maria Volonté carries this Italian biographical film almost single-handedly in his role as the industrialist Enrico Mattei. Mattei gave Italian industry a much-needed shot in the arm in the postwar era and died under suspicious circumstances in 1962. However, like many larger-than-life figures, he was not without his flaws. He created a giant monopolistic industry, which he is thought to have maintained free from interference by the government through the application of generous bribes. When he set out to make Italy a power in the petroleum world, however, he ran into serious difficulties.
