They conspire to steal a large cache of jewels from an exhibit in Rome. As they are preparing for the heist, the mobster's American friend Tony Nicosia (Amedeo Nazzarri) suggests that a better way to get the rocks would be to hijack the transport plane while it is en route to New York. The dogged inspector Le Goff (Lino Ventura) is using all the available resources to thwart their plans. Though the heist itself is successful, Santet finds himself trapped by the mob because of his fling with Manalese's daughter-in-law (Irina Demick).

I first heard it couple of years ago when I bought Morricone's "Once Upon A Time: The Essential Ennio Morricone Film Music Collection", a double disc superb collection. Even among legendary Morricone's scores, the ... Read More
Rating: - Worth watching for Delon, Gabin and Ventura.
Not the best film made by any of its three stars, the Sicilian Clan is worth watching because of those three stars, Alan Delon, Jean Gabin and Lino Ventura.
Delon is a gangster facing the death penalty, who escapes from the Police with the aid of a Sicilian family living in Paris. (hence the title). The head of the family is played by an elderly Jean Gabin. The reason why Delon has been helped to escape is so that he give Gabin's family the plans of a jewel robbery.
