Curiosidades

Todo modo, also known in English as One Way or Another, is a 1976 Italian satirical political drama film directed by Elio Petri starring Gian Maria Volonté and Marcello Mastroianni. It is loosely based on the novel of the same name by Leonardo Sciascia.

Production

Volonté's character, "M." (who was not in Sciascia's book but invented by Petri) was modeled after Aldo Moro, the prime minister of Italy at the time. As Elio Petri wrote in his diary, Volonté was so dedicated to his role that he took on the movements and intonation of Moro throughout the filming.

The soundtrack was initially entrusted to Charles Mingus. Petri decided to discard Mingus' music after, in the initial editing phase, Renzo Arbore, Mariangela Melato's partner, listened to the soundtrack. Arbore claimed that the score was a "dump", that it was material discarded by Mingus from previous works and recycled for the occasion, and that it did not suit the atmosphere of the film.
