The film is one of several which feature Gammas. In the UK it was released as 'Three Men to Kill' a gangster film starring Alain Delon and his long-term girlfriend Mirielle Darc. In the film the Gamma berlina (light blue) is slammed into a row of petrol pumps and is destroyed. Mirielle Darc liked the car so much that she later had a Gamma berlina, unusual response from a woman (in my experience they ususally think the car is too big, too heavy). The best Gamma coupe film is an Italian comedy called 'Culo e Camicia'. Its about two gays (groan!) and one of them buys the other a brand new Gamma coupe series I in silver. He is so overcome by the car's beauty that he goes for a drive in Turin and uses the car to pull a very attractive girl after which he goes straight, but remains friends with his former gay partner. The story line is feeble, but there are great shots of the car and loads of moody scenes like the car parked by Lake Como... The actress in this film is a bit of a looker; you get a fleeting glimpse of her starkers (you'll live). She has a big following in Italy, her name is Maria Rosa Ormaggio. I habitually call her 'Formaggio' which is Italian for cheese, and yes the film is very cheesy....
