Adapted from Peter Maas’ best-seller, the 1972 crime drama The Valachi Papers tells the true story of Mafia informant Joseph Valachi, superbly incarnated here by Charles Bronson (Murphy’s Law, The Mechanic).

A low-level gangster associated with the Genovese crime family, Valachi moves from punk to full-fledged gangster over the course of the brutal narrative, handsomely directed by Terence Young. Also starring the great Lino Ventura, Jill Ireland (Breakheart Pass), and Joseph Wiseman (Bye Bye Braverman), and featuring an effective score from Riz Ortolani (The Glory Guys).

Twilight Time’s Blu-ray edition features a partial isolated music track as a bonus feature.
