Antonio travels to Sicily with his wife and children to meet his family and earns the favor of a local mobster who sends him to find an enemy of the mob in New York.

Critics Consensus

Mafioso begins as an amusing farce and skillfully transforms into a portentous social drama.

4/6

Director Lattuada was reportedly acclaimed for his oddball tonal shifts, which Mafioso offers in spades.

The transitional gears never grind. They just keep clicking until you know you're along for the entire ride.

4/4

The sort of masterpiece that will obliterate memories of lesser, later efforts in the 'meeting the parents' comedy lineage. Brilliant.

3/4

A gentle Italian comedy from 1962 that takes a sobering, chilling turn that would make Michael Corleone proud.

3/4

Director Alberto Lattuada's seriocomic 1962 look at the Sicilian mob lifestyle broke the omerta, providing a look at the sordidly fascinating life of the wiseguy.

Excellent movie. Vivacious, vibrant and funny unless it is not. It starts as a conventional Italian comedy but ends up as a colorful depiction of Sicilian people and especially the legendary Sicilian mafia and its worldwide influence. I can see how this film was a great influence on the future modern gangster epics like 'The Godfather', for example the scene of killing in the barber shop so much reminded me of Michael Corleone killing police captain and Sollozzo. And in general this film stands out from other gangster films of the earlier period. A masterpiece.
