Enzo G. Castellari's first poliziotto, La Polizia incrimina la legge assolve, is arguably his best film and one of the finest examples of Italian crime cinema. Franco Nero is excellent as Vice Comissioner Belli, who's willing to go to great lengths to stop a drug smuggling ring.
It's a real shame that only way to see it is a custom dvd made by combing the long out of print, non-anamorphic and shoddy looking DVD from around 2003 with the English language track.
This is one of my favourite crime posters in all its simplicity, but unfortunately I've got no info on the poster artist.

La Via Della Droga (Heroin Busters)
Considering that Castellari teams up two of my favorite Eurocult actors together, adds a pounding Goblin soundtrack and starts off with a montage of exotic locations, you'd think that La Via della droga would be one of my favourite crime films. Unfortunately the film never really comes together and instead, I'd have to say it's my least favourite of his classic crime films.
Poster art by Ciriello and the eagle-eyed viewer might spot the similarities of the skull in the poster to the one in the Bloodstained Butterfly locandina.
