Wissenswertes

Counselor at Crime is a 1973 gangster film directed and co-written by Alberto De Martino, and starring Tomas Milian, Martin Balsam, Francisco Rabal, Dagmar Lassander and John Anderson. It was an Italian and Spanish co-production.

Production

Counselor at Crime was filmed at Cinecittà in Rome, Estudios Cinematograficos in Madrid and on location in San Francisco, Albuquerque, and Palermo.

The cinematography was done by Joe D'Amato, who was credited under his birthname Aristide Massaccesi. Director Alberto de Martino spoke positively on working with D'Amato, stating that he "didn't talk nonsense, he knew how to do his job, and he was quick. It took him a couple of seconds to understand how to light a scene. And whenever he was in trouble with the lighting, he would take the camera in his own hands".

De Martino admitted to having trouble during the screenwriting of the film, stating that he initially wrote the script with his collaborators. They later hired Leonardo Martin to write another part and when they gave the script to producer Edmondo Amati, he stated that it was alright but wanted the dialogue to be revised by his friend Michael Gazzo. A month later, Gazzo sent him a script that was entirely re-written.

De Martino also spoke about Dagmar Lassander, stating that he "cast her in Rome a couple of months before shooting started. She'd just had a baby and I told her she had to lose weight. She said 'Of course, one month's a long time!". When arriving in Albuquerque, she had not lost the weight and De Martino kept her in the film as he would not be able to find a replacement.
