The Payoff

Sasà Jovine is a man who calls himself a lawyer. He runs small business with the mob circles of Naples. One of his clients, don Michele Miletti, offers him a large sum. What he wants is for his missing daughter to be found. She took some documents with her when she disappeared. Sasà takes the job but cannot easily get out of where it leads. The trail he follows turns into a chain of killings. The film runs its crime story together with comedy. The streets of Naples are the ground of the account. Marisa Laurito and Marisa Merlini are also in the cast. Nino Manfredi and Paolo Stoppa take the leads in Sergio Corbucci’s Italian film of 1978.
