Detective Montalbano: Episode 37 [DVD]

Product Information

He was taken ill during the filming of three new episodes in 2019 and Luca Zingaretti took over the direction.

They are all there but the one who should be present at the funeral is missing: his fiancée Livia who, reached by telephone by the annoyed deceased, announces that he may not be able to intervene in time and that, to be honest, he will take advantage of his death, of this unique opportunity, to feel free from a relationship that dragged on wearily. On a computer it can be done, but it would be nice if there was a DVD version that could be viewed in Europe. 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. Pippo Ragonese, notista politico di Televigàta, era dotato di due cose: una faccia a culo di gallina e una contorta fantasia che lo portava a immaginare complotti. To understand the crime, Salvo plunges into a strange world of people literally possessed, if only by passion for the theater.Update 1/22: A recent article in Italian Vanity Fair speculates that two episodes of the popular Montalbano mysteries that have still not aired on TV, Riccardin o (released posthumously in 2020) and The Cook of the Halcyon (released in 2019) might still make it to the screen.

Meanwhile, a mysterious stranger is found murdered by a gunshot in the back of his head, not far from an isolated farmhouse.With Livia and Orlando, the big dog of the Piccolomini, Montalbano goes to the island of Levanzo under the guise of a short break, but in actual fact, travels to speak to the sister of the Piccolomini who runs an inn there. It is in this golden environment that Montalbano has to investigate, because after the horse vanishes, a guard of the stables is also found murdered.
