Macchie di Belletto (Un Detective)

In this crime mystery, Franco Nero plays a police detective whose methods include warrantless entry, lying, threatening, and smacking the living crap out of every woman he meets. He’s our hero. The version I watched on YouTube slipped in and out of Italian but was not completely incomprehensible. Any puzzling aspects were due to the scattershot plotting. Frankly, I was rooting for the various ne’er-do-wells, especially Florinda Bolkan.
