Don is Dead is a Mafia-related film, which has good dialogue, decent acting, and fine direction by one of Hollywood's best directors, Richard Fleischer. The widescreen picture is good and enhanced for 16:9 TVs.

This is a real good movie, If you collect mob movies you'll notice the 70's mob movie has a different flavor to it than those of the 80's or past that, the blood scenes may look a little fake but that's because it's probably being compared to those movies that came after. The film makers where probably testing the waters' with blood letting, and special effects where not as advanced. Anthony Quinn always does a great job in movies so it's no surprise he's great in this, Charles Cioffi does a good job of manipulating Robert Forster and The Fargo Boys are outstanding! As with all mafia movies you've got to look more to the eye-contact than the blood letting to get the real story, it's the expressions that tell the mood of the movie. A great addition to any mob movie collection.

Anthony Quinn stars as a mob boss whose mistress gets killed and starts a bloody mob war.This is a classic must see mob movie!!

This movie sucks. I feel like I was watching Dukes of Hazard gangsters. When people get shot, it looks like barbque sauce on their shirt. I can't believe I wathced the whole thing. I think I lost IQ points.
