Detective Montalbano: Episode 37 [DVD]

Product Information

To explain; Inspector Montalbano has been the very definition of appointment television in my house. Livia wants Montalbano to get a new suit for a twenty-fifth wedding anniversary party and she sends him to the tailor and dressmaker Elena Biasini, a woman who also helps the police deal with the many migrants who are arriving each night by boat from North Africa. During his daily morning swim, he finds an unidentified corpse and begins an investigation as to the identity of the deceased. I wouldn’t take the MHzChoice newsletter’s “We can confirm that there are no new episodes of Detective Montalbano in production and that no more episodes are planned” as official because: 1) MHzChoice doesn’t give the source of the alleged confirmation; and 2) Angelo Russo, who plays Catarella, leaked exactly the opposite news i Having been found, Montalbano discovers that the mafia war that erupted between the families is not due to issues of succession to power, but because the young foreigner having fallen in love, reciprocated, with the husband of the daughter of one of the gang leaders which unleash jealousy and then the physical elimination.

The insomniac Filippo Alaimo, a friend of Alberto, claims he saw a car being driven away from the house late on the night of the death. There is an “Inspector Montalbano” TV Series with 37 episodes (may have 2 more episodes in 2023-2024) and “The Young Montalbano” TV series, based on the early days of Salvo Montalbano. Very unfortunate that the last episode of such a tremendously good series is very mediocre compared to all the previous episodes. Titled Il metodo Catalanotti, it was however only the eighth most-watched episode in the two-decade series which attracted a record 11.There was some confusion over the description - it was a box set of 8 x 7" singles, but the description also said "No of disks: 1". The commissioner mistakenly connects what is written in the diary to the killing of an old businessman, Angelino Todaro, whom he suspects of being the Comrade T mentioned by Colussi. A passionate relationship quickly develops between the aging detective and his much younger colleague that stands to threaten the ten-year relationship he’s had with his girlfriend, Livia Burlando (most recently portrayed by Sonia Bergamasco).

Among the butlers in livery, Montalbano's barons and queens are a bit uncomfortable, while "an unknown person" breaks into Montalbano's house at Marinella three times: they do not steal anything but turn everything upside down, they seem to be looking for something. I understand Luca Zingaretti himself ended up directing the end of the 2 episodes done in 2019, when both Camilleri and Sironi died. It turns out that Liliana is having an affair with Arturo Tallarita and that the warehouses targeted by the bombs were both used by Liliana’s husband Adriano, who works for a computer company.Montalbano does not remain insensitive to the "foreigner's" advances, but in the end succeeds in passing her off onto his deputy Mimi Augello, always vulnerable to feminine charms. The final episode was actually filmed in Agrigento, where Camilleri was born, and Ragusa, both in southern Sicily. Quite young at the inception of the series, it’s hard to believe that the actor is now 50 years old—although most of the cast shows few signs of aging. Lisetta took refuge with Lillo to escape the abuse of her father (Lillo's uncle), who had been molesting her.
