THE FAMILY TOMB

by Michael Gilbert ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 6, 1970

A tedious, cluttered and overelaborated enterprise about Etruscologist Robert Broke, living in Florence; Professor Bronzini who is opening up some tombs; and Tina, Broke's youthful housekeeper whose father--a too fine craftsman--works for the Professor until Broke is accused of accidentally killing him. The Professor is ""working some sort of fiddle"" but so may be his adopted son--or the Mafiosi--and there's lots of other farinaceous nonsense. Unless you're very elderly, like Broke, ""an anachronism,"" you won't dig the dig.
