La banda del gobbo (1977)

by Linda Kay

English Title: Brothers Till We Die

Directed by: Umberto Lenzi

Synopsis: Vincenzo Marazzi, aka Il Gobbo (Tomas Milian) is a notorious gangster who is betrayed by his gang and seeks revenge. In order to do so he depends upon a resourceful prostitute named Maria (Isa Danieli) and his somewhat slow twin brother Sergio (also played by Tomas Milian).

Kitty Cameo: At the end of the film Vincenzo is making what appears to be a clean getaway when he starts to lose control of his car while speeding around a truck on the freeway. As if this isn’t bad enough, a black cat suddenly scurries across the lane, causing the car (and the film) to take a sudden turn.

Final Mewsings: Black cats are not inherently unlucky but there are always the few exceptions.
