Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hands over the City (Le mani sulla città) is a 1963 film from Italy directed by Francesco Rosi.The film is set in Naples. Edoardo Nottola (Rod Steiger) is a corrupt city councilman who also happens to own a large construction business. That works out pretty well, as Nottola gets the city council to sell him some land dirt-cheap and authorize him to develop it into a bunch of apartment complexes.Unfortunately for Nottola his bumbling idiot son botches the construction, causing the partial collapse of another tenement, killing two and crippling a child. The city council swings into coverup mode, while Nottola in particular schemes to tear down the old existing tenements, send the poor people packing, and build fancier ones. There's a fly in the ointment, however, in the person of De Vita, a Communist councilman who demands an investigation and accountability.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Book Ends: After the opening sequence where Nottola gives his speech, the opening credits play over some aerial shots of the densely packed apartment blocks of Naples. The last shot of the movie is a repeat of those very same aerial shots. | |

Capitalism Is Bad: Capitalism will lead rapacious executives to strike corrupt deals to build tenements, and their cronies in government will protect them when the tenements collapse. | |
