Curiosidades
Giuliano Montaldo in a recent interview declared that the first shot of the Gian Maria Volontè monologue was cut, even if perfect, because one of the smaller players started crying due to the convincing performance.

Citas
Nicola Sacco: You speak of dollars and cents, sir. Let's talk about millions of dollars. If you talk about a manager of industry or the head of a bank who donates money to a university, everybody says, "What a great man he is!" But I have worked thirteen years in this free country, doing what I've been told. I've worked like a slave and I still don't own anything, not a single dollar. Here, all you hear is, "Passport, passport!" But when I went to the consulate to organize my journey back to be repatriated, I didn't even have money to pay for the trip! After thirteen years, I would return to my homeland with nothing, just like I started.

Créditos adicionales
The English-language prints begin with the following text crawl: "On January 2, 1920, U.S. Attorney General Mitchell A. Palmer, together with an army of government agents and anyone else who wanted to take part in "Palmer's Red Raids," launched simultaneous attacks in thirty-three cities across the country. The targets were radical and anarchist headquarters. Windows were smashed, property wrecked and resisters beaten. On the east coast, the raids were centered mostly in Massachusetts and New York. Thousands of chained aliens were marched through the streets of Boston and New York City on their way to Deer Island and Ellis Island for deportation."

Versiones alternativas
The English version tones down some of the pro-anarchy sentiments of the Italian dub, most notably Bartolomeo Vanzetti's final words. In the English version, he simply says "I am innocent", which the real Vanzetti stated in his speech prior to his execution. In the Italian version, he states "Viva l'anarchia" ("Long live anarchy"), which was in fact spoken by Nicola Sacco.

A great injustice, a great movie, a little US.

Only recently I was able to see again this movie. I remember seeing it a long time ago, I must have been 16 yrs old, and I was struck by it. After so long, now I'm thirty, the effect on me is still the same.

This movie is absolutely marvelous, both for construction, acting and story: it recalls the true story of 2 Italian anarchists (Sacco and Vanzetti) sentenced to death by the court in the USA in the thirties because accused to have murdered someone during a robbery. At the time the story had great impact in the people all over the world, because the evidence of their innocence was total, and in many countries there were demonstrations against such terrible injustice. Now it is only another (admitted) mistake by the US justice system... so sad nothing changed ever since... Great was also the soundtrack by Italian maestro Ennio Morricone, sung by Joan Beaz and Georges Moustaki. I doubt this movie passes in the US TV schedules (especially with nowadays local admin.), so, if you want to see a really good movie, rent it out!
