Cab Number 13

1917 · 170 min Crime
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

Il Fiacre n. 13, from the novel of the same title by Xavier Henri Aymon Perrin, Count of Montépin, a highly prolific and much-loved author whose books were vehicles for the depiction of social inequality, narrating stories of love, death, betrayal, blackmail, and redemption. The sweeping narrative of Il Fiacre n. 13 was mutilated by the Italian censor’s suppression of its first part, the most cynical episode, which sets the scene for a scheme discernable in the other three episodes, as the story develops from a sordid murder through plotting and deceit to finally reach a happy ending.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative from a popular novel by Count de Montépin, exploring themes of social inequality and redemption through a criminal plot. It relies on a multi-episode structure that, even censored, maintains a dramatic tension from sordid murder to a schemed happy ending.

What lingers after the viewing is the sense of a classic moral tale, where greed and deception are ultimately challenged by a contrived yet satisfying justice. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Alberto Capozzi
