The Conspirators is a 1969 Italian-French historical comedy-drama film written and directed by Luigi Magni and starring Nino Manfredi, Enrico Maria Salerno and Claudia Cardinale. It is based on the actual story of the capital execution of two Carbonari in Papal Rome.
Production
Magni's script was initially rejected by all the major production companies until Giovanna Ralli, Magni's original choice for the role of Giuditta, personally brought it to Fulvio Frizzi, then commercial director of Euro International Film, who in turn submitted it to producer Bino Cicogna for consideration.
