The Opium Den (Italian: Fumeria d'oppio) is a 1947 Italian crime film directed by Raffaello Matarazzo and starring Emilio Ghione Jr., Mariella Lotti, and Emilio Cigoli. It was an unsuccessful attempt to revive the Za La Mort character, who had been a popular figure during the silent era.[1] Ghione jr. was the son of the actor Emilio Ghione who had originally played the role.
