The Sicilian Clan is a 1969 French-Italian gangster film based on the novel by Auguste Le Breton. It was directed by Henri Verneuil and stars Jean Gabin, Lino Ventura and Alain Delon, whose casting has been credited with the film's box office success in France. Ennio Morricone composed the score for the film. Second unit filming started in New York in March 1969. The main unit went into production on March 24 at Franstudio's Saint-Maurice Studios. The film was shot in two versions: with the actors speaking French, and with the actors speaking English. During production, Delon was involved in a real-life scandal, the Marković affair, which surrounded the still-unsolved murder of his former bodyguard Stevan Marković several months earlier.
