Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Rocco and His Brothers is a 1960 film directed by Luchino Visconti, starring Alain Delon.The Parondi family consists of matriarch Rosaria and five sons: Rocco (Delon), Vincenzo, Simone, Ciro, and Luca. At the start of the film the rest of the family is leaving impoverished Sicily to join Vincenzo, who is already in Milan, and has gotten engaged to the lovely Ginetta.Rosaria had imagined that she and her sons would move in with Vincenzo, and is unpleasantly surprised to find that Vincenzo is living with Ginetta's family and there is no room for them. She and her other four sons get a shabby basement room, and the men look for work. Into their lives comes Nadia, a prostitute who seeks shelter with the Parondis after her father throws her out. Simone falls head over heels for her. The pressure of struggling to survive in the big city, as well as Simone's mad passion for Nadia, threatens to tear the family apart.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Claudia Cardinale, then just on the cusp of international superstardom, has a small role as Ginetta.

Breakout Role: For Alain Delon, Annie Girardot, and Claudia Cardinale. Delon's Purple Noon had only come out a few months earlier, Giradot was better known as an up-and-coming stage actress, and Cardinale appeared in a few bit parts and supporting role the year prior. All three became some of the biggest actors in their respective countries.

Cain and Abel: The dynamic between Rocco and Simone. Simone is offended at Rocco's moral quality and keeps doing stuff to tempt his brother to degrade him up to murdering Nadia. Ciro, the younger brother is the one who takes responsibility and turns Simone into the police for his crime.
