Synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of World War II, Blood Feud tells of the struggle against the Sicilian Mafia, from the streets of Sicily to the tenements of New York. Titina (Sophia Loren) is a happily married Sicilian housewife but, like so many others, is widowed early in life when her husband is brutally murdered by the Mafia. After spending ten years away, Spallone (Marcello Mastroianni), returns home and falls in love with Titina. Also returning to avenge his cousin's death is Nick (Giancarlo Giannini), a small-time crook, who also falls for his cousin's widow. In the deadly game of love as in war there is always a winner and a loser... Blood Feud is written and directed by the highly acclaimed Italian director Lina Wertmuller, who a couple of years previously became the first woman ever to be nominated for a Best Director Oscar.

The Sicilian Mafia have killed the husband of Titina Paterno (Sophia Loren). In the aftermath of the tragedy, Titina finds herself torn between the romantic advances of two men: determined attorney Rosario Maria Spallone (Marcello Mastroianni) and low-rent criminal Nick Sanmichele (Giancarlo Giannini). As the love triangle heats up, the widow tries her best to keep her romantic escapades under the covers. This Italian drama is set during the fascists' rise to power in pre-World War II Italy.

In pre-World War II Sicily, just as the fascists come to power, two men fall in love with the same woman. The changes in their country's politics ultimately take all three on a journey across the ocean to New York.
