Astuzia per Astuzia

About This Movie

Astuzia per Astuzia is an intriguing addition to the crime TV movie category from 1979. The atmosphere really nails that tension typical of the era, set against the backdrop of a hotel that becomes a microcosm for deceit and intrigue. The pacing has that classic slow burn, allowing the viewer to soak in the mood and character dynamics. The protagonist, a sharp-witted lawyer, unravels the mystery with wit and charm, and his interactions with his driver add a nice layer of camaraderie. It's not just about the plot, it’s the way the narrative unfolds and how the characters reveal themselves amid the chaos, which gives it some distinctive flair.

Astuzia per Astuzia has seen limited distribution, making it a rarity for collectors focused on niche crime dramas. The film was primarily aired on television, which heavily affects its availability on physical media, adding to its allure. There’s a small but dedicated group of collectors who appreciate its unique blend of humor and mystery, as well as its representation of late '70s Italian television cinema. Keep an eye out for those obscure VHS tapes or possibly a rare DVD release, as this one’s not often found in standard collections.
