The Challenge (La sfida)
|
The Challenge (La sfida) is a 1958 Italian-Spanish B&W crime drama directed by Francesco Rosi. A young, aspiring Neapolitan criminal Vito Polara (José Suárez) tries to carve out his own piece of the pie on vegetable market, controlled by local Camorra. Vito manages to make a deal with Camorra boss but then his impudence and naivety leads him to bitter end.
The following weapons were used in the film The Challenge (La sfida):
Bernardelli
When Vito Polara (José Suárez) comes to local Camorra boss Salvatore Ajello (Pasquale Cennamo), the latter, being insulted by Vito, draws a pistol that appears to be a Bernardelli model without a name, produced in late 1940s-1950s (predecessor of better known Bernardelli Model 60). Salvatore's brother Ferdinando (José Jaspe) prevents the shot, striking the pistol from Salvatore's hand, and then Vito picks up the pistol.
Unidentified revolver
In the final scene a revolver is partially seen in hand of Salvatore Ajello (Pasquale Cennamo).
Double Barreled Shotgun
During the confrontation on the farm one of Ajello's henchmen holds a Double Barreled Shotgun.
