La via della droga (The Heroin Busters, 1977)

"Listen... it's getting very hard for me to cover for you."

"Yes, I know. Don't worry about it. It's my life, after all."

Hemmings lends easygoing support #here during his european extended working holiday period‚ but if anything steals focus here then it's perhaps naturally the #goblin score‚ a delightful bit of fuzzy prog warbling which truth be told probably belongs in a slightly better film #edit: ok i looked at the images and the boots are clearly not thigh high.. what a Testi fit can do to the unconscious mind..

Il grande racket (The Big Racket, 1976)

"Great job! Now they'll cover it all up and regroup. All my work will have been for nothing."

"Work? It was all beating and shooting. We can't use the same methods that criminals use. Cops are supposed to respect the law."
