Summary of Violent City
Charles Bronson is the lone-wolf hitman, Jeff, determined not to join THE FAMILY in this violent crime drama. After getting out of jail in the Antilles, Jeff returns to New Orleans and his beautiful girlfriend Vanessa (Jill Ireland). The sharpshooting killer soon becomes embroiled in trouble, however, when Weber (Telly Savalas), the head of an organized crime family, pressures Jeff into coming back into the fold. Weber has a bombshell surprise for Jeff--Vanessa is now his mob trophy wife. When Jeff discovers his girlfriend has double-crossed him, he gets angry. VERY angry. And now the mob has become a target, because a certain hit man is out for bloody revenge. Bronson and Ireland, married in real life, stir up just the right amount of heat as a pair of lovers who define the ultimate love/hate relationship. THE FAMILY was originally titled, CITTA VIOLENTA (Violent City) referring to New Orleans, where the killing and bloodshed in the movie takes place. The film was an Italian production directed by Sergio Sollima and one of the contributing screenwriters was another Italian director, Lina Wertmuller. Savalas's brother, George, who would also star with him on KOJAK, costars in the movie.
