An Italian prison official's wife is kidnapped, and the kidnappers demand that a notorious prisoner be released in order for the man to get his wife back. He gets the man released - but then kidnaps him himself, in order to ensure that the man's colleagues do not kill his wife. Enraged, the gang sets out to free their compatriot and kill the man who took him.
Paola Pitagora recalls how Oliver Reed always turned up drunk on set (something confirmed by director Sollima) and as a result there were often difficulties during filming - including an incident in which Reed 'under the influence' crashed a VW bus into a post and Paola Pitagora, who hit her face inside the vehicle, had to wear big sunshades for the rest of the filming to cover up her bruised eyes.[2]
Revolver was released in Italy on September 27, 1973 where it was distributed theatrically by Panta.[1] The film grossed 477,374,000 Italian lire in Italy.[1]
