Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Order to Kill was originally shipped out to Spanish-speaking theatres under the title El Clan de los Immorales. The story concerns a mob family, headed by gambling czar Jose Ferrer. When one of family's hit men (Helmut Berger) fails to come up to expectations, Ferrer orders the man's execution. This turn-the-tables circumstance manages to sustain the audience's interest for nearly 2 hours. Besides, it's always fun to watch the lofty Ferrer let his hair down in a cheapie. The same applies to Kevin McCarthy, who likewise appears in Order to Kill.
