Horace 62 (1962)
Directed by André Versini

Crime / Thriller

Film Synopsis

A trivial incident involving a poisoned dog some generations ago was the cause of a ruthless rivalry that has endured between two Corsican families, the Fabianis and the less wealthy Colonnas.  For every person who is killed in one family, another is murdered in the other, and the vendetta shows no sign of ending soon.  At a funeral, the two families once again declare war against the other.  Horace, the second Fabiani son, is more inclined to bring an end to hostilities now that his sister Camille has married Noel, the eldest of the Colonnas.  However, to bring a decisive end to the feud, the Parisian Corsicans decide that the three sons from both clans should fight it out one last time, under the cover of darkness near the Champs-Elysées...
