After Four Flies on Green Velvet, Dario Argento stepped away from giallo to create what remains the only non-horror/thriller of his career: Set during 1848's five-day siege of Milan by the Austrian army, a cynical thief (pop star Adriano Celentano) teams with a naïve young baker (Enzo Cerusico of The Dead Are Alive!) to survive the brutality and absurdity of the Italian Revolution.
