Lucky Luciano , continuing a short season of films by Francesco Rosi , deals with the violence and corruption of the late 1940s and is based on the true story of a notorious Mafia boss. In 1936 Luciano was sentenced by a New York court to a minimum of 30 years in jail, yet only eight years later he was on his way home to Naples paroled for services to the US Army. Before long, Lucky was master-minding an international drugs ring - only slightly irritated by a persistent agent from the US Narcotics Bureau. Lucky Luciano
