Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Steno (Stefano Vanzina) died in 1988; this was his swan song after decades of comedy classics with Totò.

Cultural

The Camorra's structure here—clans over hierarchy—was still exotic to global audiences; Gomorrah wouldn't exist without this blueprint.
