[SACCO E VANZETTI]
The notorious 1920 trial of Italian immigrant anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, long considered a dark chapter of civil injustice and xenophobia in U.S. history, was ambitiously recounted — and embellished — by Giuliano Montaldo in this Italo-French co-production, not by chance filmed in Ireland with a cast that included Cyril Cusack and Milo O'Shea to draw parallels to The Troubles afflicting that nation. Amplifying this was Ennio Morricone's rousing score, with Joan Baez contributing the film's title ballad and her strident song "Here's to You" ("Here's to you, Nicola and Bart/Rest forever here in our hearts"), which very quickly became an anthem for human rights everywhere, only to be repurposed as the theme of a documentary about Germany's Red Army Faction and the popular video game "Metal Gear." (Note courtesy of the Museum of Modern Art.) DIR/SCR Giuliano Montaldo; SCR Ottavio Jemma, Fabrizio Onofri; PROD Arrigo Colombo, Giorgio Papi. Italy/France, 1971, color, 125 min.
