Digitmovies issues Guido & Maurizio De Angelis’ “Street law” (aka “Il cittadino si ribella”) OST on CD.

SOUNDTRACK

Guido & Maurizio De Angelis composed a score that will certainly always be one of the most remarkable of their long and lucky career. An OST based on a recurring theme, that highlights the loneliness and desperation of a citizen rising up against injustice and urban racket. Charming sounds between rock and country, accompanied by harmonica, mark out this total evergreen score. Suspended moods between psychedelia and noir, with flute, electric guitars, Moog synthetizer and drums. Back then RCA had released just a 7-inch record (TBBO 1074) with “Goodbye my friend”, performed by Susi & Guy, and “Drivin’ all around” by Guy. In 2002 GDM Music published the background soundtrack on CD, for the first time ever (CD CLUB 7007), it was then re-issued with a more elaborate artwork. The LP version was published by AMS (LP 120) in 2016.

DIRECTION AND CAST

Directed by Enzo G. Castellari in 1974 and starring Franco Nero, Barbara Bach, Renzo Palmer, Giancarlo Prete, Romano Puppo, Massimo Vanni, Renata Zamengo, Nazzareno Zamperla.

PLOT

In Genova, during a bank robbery, Carlo Antonelli gets taken hostage, beaten up and abandoned in a car by three bandits. Since the police seems unwilling to help him, he swears to himself to be the one who finds and kills the criminals. With his camera, he catches a young thief named Tommy red-handed. By blackmailing him, Carlo forces Tommy to find some weapons and to introduce him to some of the most dangerous felons. Among them, Antonelli finds the three thieves, finds out their hideout and calls the police. The criminals manage to flee, maybe warned by someone inside the police station. Antonelli doesn’t give up and, helped out by his friend Tommy, fakes his own kidnapping to force the intervention of the policemen. While they comb through the underworld, the three criminals try to kill Antonelli. During the fight, they die but, unfortunately, so does Tommy.
