Cry of a Prostitute (original title Quelli che contano, "Those who count") is a 1974 Italian crime movie directed by Andrea Bianchi. A hired gun Tony Aniante (Henry Silva) returns to his native town in Sicily after many years in America and finds it ripped by a feud of two mafia bosses. Working for both sides, Aniante leads them to mutual destruction. The story has many similarities to such well known movies as Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo and Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars.
