| 1973/ Spain / Italy /110' Directed by: Jose' Gutie'rrez Maesso Writing credits: Santiago Moncada Music by: Adolfo Waitzman Cinematography by: Aiace Parolin |
| Cast: Helmut Berger ( Clyde Hart ) Jos Ferrer ( Inspector Reed ) Kevin McCarthy ( Ed McLean ) Sydne Rome ( Anne ) Howard Ross ( Richard ) Order to Kill was originally shipped out to Spanish-speaking theatres under the title El Clan de los Immorales. The story concerns a mob family, headed by gambling czar Jose Ferrer. When one of family's hit men (Helmut Berger) fails to come up to expectations, Ferrer orders the man's execution. This turn-the-tables circumstance manages to sustain the audience's interest for nearly 2 hours. Besides, it's always fun to watch the lofty Mr. Ferrer let his hair down in a cheapie. The same applies to Kevin McCarthy, who likewise appears in Order to Kill.
