PRODUCT INFORMATION
Eddie Rico (Conte) is a former mobster who has turned straight to run a successful laundry business. When his two brothers disappear following a hit, mafia boss ‘Uncle’ Sid (Gates) assures him that the Ricos are like his own family... But as Eddie attempts to track down his wayward siblings, he realises that Sid is not the father figure he believed him to be.
Based on a novel by Maigret creator Georges Simenon, The Brothers Rico prefigures The Godfather in its exploration of the tensions between familial and criminal bonds within the Mafia.

Shipping
No, we only ship inside the US
Most orders for in-stock items take less than 24 hours to ship (may take longer if you place an order over the weekend). Pre-orders are shipped as soon as the product arrives. International pre-orders may not come in before the street date. This is especially true with Australian pre-orders.
We only use USPS for all shipments. If there is an issue after your order ships you will need to contact your local post office.
Product
All items that come with a slipcover will say so in the product page.
Pre-orders will not say WITH SLIPCOVER until the product comes in.
Slipcovers are not guaranteed to be in mint condition.
If you can order it, it's either in stock or a pre-order. If an item is out of stock you will not be able to add it to your cart. It's rare but our inventory may not be correct. So in some cases an item may have to be shipped separately.
Other
We do not sell bootlegs. All product arrives from the distributor or is directly from the filmmakers. All items are new and sealed. Some indie titles or signed editions may not have shrinkwrap.
