Inspector Mark Terzi, who is acting incognito under Mark Patti, gets hired in Rome by terrorists Paul Henkel (John Steiner) and Olga Kube (Marcella Michelangeli). His mission leads him to Vienna without knowing what it will be. With his austrian colleagues and the shady US Agent Altman (John Steiner) Terzi tries to discover the planned attack. After a murder attack were he should have been and isn’t by accident he realizes somebody plays wrong. Shortly after the terror attack with Terzi ´s participation is taking shape…..    

The third installment in the (incoherent) „Mark“ series from director Stelvio Massi and probably the best of this short lived series. The Massi attributes like great action, fine camera and a solid story are coming to perfection in this film. The solid police thriller story does also include a political context exceptionally played by John Steiner and Marcella Michelangeli covering the political Zeitgeist with the RAF and Brigata Rossa. 

The story is set in Rome, Vienna and Mailand and was also shot on original sets. Leading actor Franco Gasparri plays a strong lead and is greatly supported by John Saxon, Paul Muller and the two Terrorist Leaders Steiner and Michelangeli. 

Completed by a typical and very fine Stelvio Cipriani score.

Story

Commissioner Matteo Rolandi (Claudio Cassinelli) is a narcotics officer, but finds himself circumstantially intertwined with a bombing investigation, possibly a terrorist attack. He makes some critical breakthroughs on discovering the bombers’ identities, but his detective work is unappreciated by the other officers officially handling the case. The film becomes, besides a thriller, also the photograph of one of the most politically and socially tense periods in recent Italian history.

ARTHUR KENNEDY known for Murder She Said (1961); The Fantastic Voyage (1966), but also euro-cult favorites such as The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue (1974) and L’anticristo (The Antichrist,1974).

Story

Rome, 1970s. One day, a young musician meets by chance a beautiful girl in heroin withdrawal. He falls in love and tries to help her, discovering a shocking underworld of drugs, junkies and pushers.

Sergio Nutis Drug-related Drama from the late Seventies is a shattering but also prosaic contemporary document of the Drugscene Rome ´s. Predominately placed in the intellectual student scene Heroine dominates the daily routine melancholically-sad supported by the score of Maurizio Rota a.o.
The film was shoot with amateurs of whom most were connected to the Drugscene and because of this is totally authentic. The Film was shoot on original locations and is an fantastic historical document of the social circumstances of these times.

Never before available on home video, this drugsploitation film is one of the first attempts to portray the heroin scene of the 1970s, preceding cult movies like CHRISTIANE F. (1981), EL PICO (1982) and AMORE TOSSICO (1983). The film is played by non-professional actors, many of whom were linked to the drug circle and died in later years.

This is the only film directed and starred by Sergio Nuti, who worked mainly as an editor on LO CHIAMAVANO VERITA’, MALEDETTI VI AMERO’ and Marco Bellocchio’s GLI OCCHI, LA BOCCA. Producer Manfredi Marzano had previously worked on films like CHI SEI and LUCREZIA GIOVANE.

The film features an unforgettable folk rock score by Maurizio Rota (leader of the prog band Alberomotore), with songs by some of the most interesting names in the Italian indie music scene of the 1970s, including Alan Sorrenti and Canzoniere del Lazio.

Sadly the movie had a tragic destiny. After a short time in a cinema Rome ´s and screening on two festival in Italy and Switzerland the planned distribution Company went bankrupt before distribution and the film went in obscurity. Nonetheless Dont count on us is a great historical document Rome ´s of the late seventies and shows a unemotional, sad and disenchanted view of the Drug Scene Rome ´s.
