Mafioso is a 1962 Italian black comedy film directed by Alberto Lattuada. The film follows the story of Antonio Badalamenti (Alberto Sordi), a mild-mannered factory foreman from Milan who is forced by mob duty to return to his native Sicily. Antonio is reunited with his family and is asked to perform a 'favor' for the local mafia boss. Reluctant at first, Antonio soon finds himself engaged in a series of increasingly criminal activities. Meanwhile, his own moral code is tested when he learns the truth about his homecoming. With humor and a touch of pathos, Mafioso is a clever take on the mafia genre.
