Although we were sold this film under the title ‘Rico’ this action thriller has had a number of banners including, ‘Riko’, ‘Ricco’, ‘Gangland’, ‘The Dirty Mob’, ‘Heavy Dues’, ‘Cauldron of Death’, and there could be others! Any film that hides behind this many titles is generally trying to disguise something, and strangely enough this film isn’t that bad. It’s standard ‘Mob/Mafia’ fare, as Rico seeks vengeance, for the death of his father who’s been gunned down. However with the names of Chistopher Mitchum, Barbara Bouchet and Arthur Kennedy we must have felt that this stood a fair chance of bringing in some orders.
Can’t recall the end result. The label was designed by Marianne Frost.
