Description
Belle: Spencer Ashby, a teacher, lives a quiet comfortable life married to Christine, a cold, dry-hearted woman. One day, Belle Shermann, an American student and daughter of one of his wife's friends, comes to stay at their villa. The teacher hardly notices her. But his dull uneventful life is turned upside down when Belle is found strangled to death. Ashby, who was alone with the victim but claims he was sleeping in his room at the time of the crime, is soon suspected of being the murderer.
Description

Description
The brothers Rico: Eddie, Gino and Tony Rico were born in Brooklyn. Under the appearance of men without stories, they are part of an "organization" on behalf of which the eldest "protects" the merchants of Florida, while the two youngest participate in the settling of accounts. When Tony, wanted by the police, disappears, the organization asks Eddie to find him.
