Description
Summary:
"April, 1945: With the Third Reich losing ground in the final months of World War II and the Allies pressing towards Italy, Fascist dictator Mussolini (Steiger) flees the wrath of his own people and heads for Switzerland with his mistress, Clara Petacci (Wild, wild planet's Lisa Gastoni). Hunted by both the Americans (led by Giacomo Rossi-Stuart, of The night Evelyn came out of the grave) and the partisans (commanded by Django star Franco Nero), Mussolini finds all avenues of escape blocked and is swiftly captured by the freedom fighters. Held prisoner on the shores of Lake Como, 'Il Duce' and his lover endure a dark night of the soul before answering for their crimes at dawn"--Container.
