Script

This is a brief script of a general idea for our thriller opening 'Vendetta D'amour

Vendetta D’amore

Scene 1 -Small bar

The film begins by revealing two men- ‘Costly Don’ (Tony Costello) and ‘Mad Hatter’ (Frank Gambino), dressed in clothes of the period. They are sitting around a small, dimly lit card table. Two scantily dressed (of the period) women are flirting with the men- seductively stroking the men’s shoulders. There is little furniture in the smallish room, despite this the setting seems like a comfortable, well-known place to the gang. The room is quite brightly lit and the atmosphere initially seems relaxed and friendly.
