Strategia del ragno (1970)

Athos Magnani (Giulio Brogi) and Draifa (Alida Valli) sharing a meal. There's a carafe with water, a small vase with two flowers, wine glasses, and half a melon. Athos looks up, past us, towards something. DPs: Franco Di Giacomo & Vittorio Storaro.

“There's phrase that… 'A man is made of all men. He is equal to all and all are equal to him'.”

– Athos Magnani
