本片记录了88岁高龄的淮北梆子著名老艺人顾锡轩演出的《寇准背靴》。 北宋时期,昏王无道,听信谗言,陷害忠良,将忠心报国的杨延景元帅充军云南。而后奸臣王钦若陷害杨延昭,假传圣旨赐其毒药。杨延景狱中好友任堂辉不忍忠良遭害,喝下毒药才使得杨延昭逃过一死。后来,杨府虚报杨延昭病死,假设灵堂,想自此回河东隐居。此时,辽军进犯,边疆告急。八贤王和天官寇准听到杨延景的噩耗,心情十分沉痛,并为朝中失去披肝沥胆的忠良而深感忧悒。于是,二人同往杨府吊唁。寇准在灵堂上看到杨延昭的儿子杨宗保不甚悲哀;又见到杨延昭的妻子柴郡主外面虽身着孝服里面却着红裙;还听到佘太君向八贤王奏本,举家要回河东,心中顿生疑团,便以守灵为名留八贤王同在杨府。夜晚,寇准疑虑满怀,难以入眠。这时,他忽然发现柴郡主来其窗外窥视后,提着篮子急忙向花园走去。寇准看穿其中有些蹊跷,便尾随柴郡主前往花园,柴郡主...。This Film seems to be some kinda sequel to the Hunted City. Comissario Ferro comes from Rome to Milan. The violence is at a all time high. Gangsters dress up with some bizarre Carnival-masks. They use this outfit to liquidate some opponents. Ferro is no friend of such behavior and so he uses his gun the traditional way and lightens their masses a little bit.
Even though the ending is a bit disappointing, the film contains a great fight in a plastic-factory with lots a white plastic bottles. Visually nice! I like the documentary-style of Massis Camera very much. It makes the film so involving and real. His Experience in the Western-Genre as Camera operator in films like "C'e Sartana vendi la pistola..." and "Dio Perdoni la mia Pistola" sure comes in handy. Joan Collins had no trouble with face-surgery at that time.。
