The Sicilian Clan
An ambitious mobster plans an elaborate diamond heist while seducing the daughter-in-law of a ruthless mob patriarch as a determined police commissioner closes in on all of them.

The film peaks with the spectacular plane hijacking sequence then gradually declines as the affair subplot and its consequences drag down the momentum toward the tragic finale.
The Sicilian Clan builds steadily from a strong opening escape sequence through methodical heist preparation, reaching its creative and technical peak with the audacious mid-air hijacking. The final act suffers somewhat as the romantic subplot and inevitable tragic consequences slow the pace, though critics consistently praise the performances of the three leads and Morricone's memorable score throughout.
