AKA The Sicilian Connection
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089813/
Spoiler:

Mario (Placido), an Italian American who manages a pizzeria in NYC, is charged with an assassination of a judge in Palermo. He leaves the States, comes back to Sicily and recruit Michele, his younger brother, for some help. Michele is a good guy not involved with the Mafia, that is trying to build his life on honesty and hard-working. Michele needs some money to give freedom to a prostitute he is in love, and Mario promise his help in change of an hands to set up his trap for the judge. Anyway Michele isn't made with the same "pasta" of Mario, he couldn't never be a real Mafioso and this causes many between the two brother and the Mafia. There is only a way for Mario to save his brother. A way that Mafia could like.
Simona Cavallari plays the young prostitute (she was about 14 years old at that time)

Thank you Snake for the file, and szijarto for the first post!

Snake's is the theatrical version at 116 minutes and had many fast eMule sources. Szijarto's was apparently the 177 minute TV version. (!!!) Sadly Ulozto no longer does public sharing. :( The only English subtitle at opensubtitles is for that long version.

To get English subtitles for the 116 minute version, I Google-translated an Italian opensubtitle in SubtitleEdit. It seemed readable enough. Then, because of a comment in another thread I thought that maybe I should look for English subtitles for the shorter theatrical version in eMule of all places! ;) Sure enough, I found subtitles that seemed to be professionally translated. They were much better than the Google version, but they were missing many lines. I combined the two versions to fill in what was missing, and added a number of lines that were spoken in accented English.

The girl in the movie IS really cute! At first it seemed that too much focus would be on the crime drama and she would not have enough screen time. I WAS WRONG! I would like to see more of her of course, but the time spent on the subtitles showed me the importance and intensity of the emotional relationship drama. I am ready for the longer version with another hour of footage.

Found in eMule and VERIFIED, the LONG TV VERSION and ENGLISH subtitles to go with it! [Code] [Image][Image][Image]

I can see extended scenes as well as scenes I don't recognize. Sadly the added material seems to be mostly mafia plotting rather than more footage of our young romantic couple, but that it what I expected.

I re-edited my previous post. The theatrical version subtitles are now 90% "pro" translation with only a portion of it Google translation from Italian. The long version is VERIFIED complete with synced English subtitles. I added screenshots for it.
