Directed by Robert Siodmak
USA 1950
Indicator have released Deported on Blu-ray in their Universal Noir #1 Boxset in 2022, compared HERE
For one of his last Hollywood assignments, film noir master Robert Siodmak, director of The Suspect, The Spiral Staircase, The Killers, Cry of the City, The Dark Mirror and Criss Cross, ventured to Italy—with legendary cinematographer William H. Daniels (The Naked City) and a script by writer/producer Robert Buckner (Bright Victory)—to film this gangster drama inspired by the deportation of real-life Mafia kingpin Lucky Luciano. Jeff Chandler (Man in the Shadow) plays Vic Smith, an American “undesirable citizen” who is shipped back to his native country of Italy. There, he gets wrapped up in a black-market ring and a romance with a beautiful widow, the virtuous Countess Christine di Lorenzi (Märta Torén, Spy Hunt), who may help put an end to Vic’s immoral ways. This riveting crime story has been one of the hardest to find of Siodmak’s American films—until now! The wonderful supporting cast includes Claude Dauphin (The Quiet American), Marina Berti (Prince of Foxes) and Richard Rober (Jet Pilot). *** The real-life deportation of gangster Lucky Luciano was the inspiration for this romanticized and slightly crackbrained crime drama. Jeff Chandler plays the Luciano counterpart, who once he arrives in Italy renews his criminal activities. |

On their
Blu-ray,
Kino use a DTS-HD Master dual-mono track (24-bit) in the
original English language - with some Italian. Deported
has only a few aggressive moments - minor gunplay - that export modest depth.
The effective score is by
Walter Scharf (Abandoned,
Three
Violent People,
Casbah,
The
Glass Key, Hans
Christian Andersen,
The Geisha Boy,
Rock-a-Bye Baby) sounding
like a strong replication in the lossless. Kino offer optional English
subtitles on their Region 'A'
Blu-ray.
The Kino
Blu-ray
Robert Siodmak's Deported
is a decent film taking the reverse angle of the 'immigrant makes
good' premise with the Italian-born gangster getting deported - his
experiences and moral shifts. Shot, almost entirely, in Italy, it has
minor travelogue aspects (Tuscany.) I liked Marina Berti and Chandler -
Robert Siodmak is always a pleasure. Kino's Blu-ray
of Deported
has value and I was very attentive throughout. Worth seeing! |
