Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Barrier of the Law is an Italian crime meller with an above-average cast. Italy's Rosanno Brazzi and France's Jacques Sernas are top-billed in this tense little effort. The plot concerns an undercover operation, wherein a honest cop infiltrates a gang of clever crooks. Complications ensue when a pretty young girl falls for the cop, threatening to blow his cover or compromise his mission. Virtually unreleased in the US, Barrier of the Law has is currently available in a handful of public-domain video catalogues.
