Ferrara listen (help·info) is a city and comune in Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy, capital city of the Province of Ferrara. It is situated 50 km north-northeast of Bologna, on the Po di Volano, a branch channel of the main stream of the Po River, located 5 km north. The town has broad streets and numerous palaces dating from the 14th century and 15th century, when it hosted the court of the House of Este. For its beauty and cultural importance it has been qualified by UNESCO as World Heritage Site. Modern times have brought a renewal of industrial activity. Ferrara is on the main rail line from Bologna to Padua and Venice, and has branches to Ravenna, Poggio Rusco (for Suzzara) and Codigoro. In 2006, due to its important historical significance, Ferrara became the headquarters of the Italian Hermitage Museum. It is the fifth city in the world to have been linked with the Russian museum. From this union was born the Hermitage-Italy Foundation.
The origin of Ferrara is uncertain, it was probably settled by the inhabitants of the lagoons at the mouth of Po river; there are two early centers of settlement, one round the cathedral, the other, the castrum bizantino, being the San Pietro district, on the opposite shore, where the Primaro empties into the Volano channel. Ferrara appears first in a document of the Lombard king Desiderius of 753 AD, as a city forming part of the Exarchate of Ravenna. Desiderius pledged a Lombard ducatus ferrariae ("Duchy of Ferrara") in 757 to Pope Stephen II. After 984 it was a fief of Tedaldo, count of Modena and Canossa, nephew of the emperor Otto I. It afterwards made itself independent, and in 1101 was taken by siege by the countess Matilda. At this time it was mainly dominated by several great families, among them the prominent Adelardi (or Aleardi) family.

Columbo: You may need this.::[returns Bond's pistol to him]::Columbo: I'm a good judge of man. You have what the Greeks call "thrausos" - guts!::James Bond: [points his gun at Columbo] So have you, Mister Columbo.

Plot
At overcrowded Westgate Penitentiary, where violence and fear are the norm and the warden has less power than guards and leading prisoners, the least contented prisoner is tough, single-minded Joe Collins. Most of all, Joe hates chief guard Captain Munsey, a petty dictator who glories in absolute power. After one infraction too many, Joe and his cell-mates are put on the dreaded drain pipe detail; prompting an escape scheme that has every chance of turning into a bloodbath.

Gallagher: Those gates only open three times. When you come in, when you've served your time, or when you're dead!
Dr. Walters: [to Captain Munsey] That's why you'd never resign from this prison. Where else whould you find so many helpless flies to stick pins into?
Dr. Walters: Force does make leaders. But you forget one thing: it also destroys them.
Captain Munsey: Just remember there's no reward for bringing 'em back alive. Not in this jungle.
[last lines]::Dr. Walters: Nobody escapes. Nobody ever really escapes.
Warden A.J. Barnes: [At the meeting in the Warden's office] But it's not as easy as all that, Mr. McCollum. This prison... this prison has almost twice as many men as it was built to accomodate. There's not enough work to keep the inmates occupied.::McCollum: Why not?::Warden A.J. Barnes: The world we live in. Yes, we can give them real work. Teach them trades. Produce things. But the civilian manufacturer says we're competing with him. Trade unions say we're putting their people out of work. Nobody wants to help. Not us.::McCollum: [Scoffing] Manufacturers. Unions. You might as well blame the weather! What you're really saying is, you can't handle the situation!::Captain Munsey: Excuse me, sir. I don't think you quite understood what the Warden meant. It's not only a matter of controlling the men. He wants to help them.::McCollum: Munsey, what this prison needs is absolute discipline - not charity! Your loyalty to the warden doesn't change the fact that he may be getting too OLD for his job.::Dr. Walters: Age, Mr. McCollum, is a matter of arteries, not years.::McCollum: It's a pity, Walters, that you're a better philosopher than you are a doctor, but I'm getting tired of you in both roles! I was sent here today for one reason: to tell you that if there's any more trouble, if this prison isn't brought under the strictest control, there'll be an immediate change in practically all personnel. We don't want to be bothered any more! Is that clear, Warden?::Warden A.J. Barnes: [Meekly] Yes.::McCollum: Clear to you, doctor?::Dr. Walters: Oh, absolutely. You can't be bothered. Well, that simplifies everything. The great Public [turning to scowl at McCollum] - and its servants... You put up prisons, thick walls, and then your job is over. Finished. But is it over? You and your "patent medicine" remedies. [Paraphrasing McCollum] "Change the Warden." "New personnel." "Absolute discipline." Do you know what this prison is, Mr. McCollum? One big human bomb! And you say, "Kick it, and it'll be quiet. Smash it, and it won't explode."::McCollum: [Turning to Captain Munsey] Munsey, what do you think of the doctor's viewpoint?::Captain Munsey: I think, sir, that on occasion, the doctor becomes unduly alarmed.::McCollum: Warden?::Warden A.J. Barnes: [Stammering] I... I... I don't know.::McCollum: I do. Like so many dreamers... and drunkards, the doctor's emotional words are empty. [Addressing Dr. Walters] What's your solution?::Dr. Walters: All I know, is that when people are sick, you don't cure them by making them sicker. By your methods we send a man back to society a worse criminal than he was than when they sent him to us.::McCollum: Platitudes, doctor. I'm waiting for your solution.::Dr. Walters: For men like you, Mr. McCollum, there will never be any solution.::McCollum: [Angrily reacting to Dr. Walters] Wait a minute...!::Dr. Walters: All you want is "destroy" instead of "build." What we need here is a little more patience, and much more understanding!::McCollum: We've been patient too long. And as for understanding, I'm positive the purpose of my visit cannot be MISunderstood. You'll remain here, Warden, only as long as there's no further trouble. Good day [turning to glare directly at Dr. Walters]... doctor!::Captain Munsey: I'll see you to the gate, sir. [Captain Munsey and McCollum leave the Warden's office]::Warden A.J. Barnes: I've been Warden here for such a long time. [Sitting down, dejectedly] I wouldn't know where to go, what to do...
Cora Lister: [Flashback scene: Tom Lister is in his prison cell, recalling how he had given his wife Cora an exquisite fur coat] Tom... oh, Tom! It's the most beautiful thing in the whole world!::Tom Lister: It belongs on you.::Cora Lister: [Putting the coat on and admiring herself dreamily in the mirror] It makes me feel so... I don't know... like I was "somebody." Oh, Tom...::Cora Lister: [Suddenly coming to her senses] Where'd you get it? Where'd the money come from? Where'd you get it!::Tom Lister: Cora, I stole the money. I juggled the books and took three thousand dollars.::Cora Lister: You? You STOLE? Why?::Tom Lister: Darling, the way we were going, you wanting things - things you ought to have - and me strapped all the time... we were heading for a split-up. Don't you see? I just had to do it.::Cora Lister: All my life, the one thing I've really wanted is a fur coat. I CAN'T give it up. I WON'T, Tom!::Tom Lister: No, darling...::Cora Lister: But what if something should happen?::Tom Lister: Nothing that happens could matter, unless I lost you... [Loud, ominous knocking on door is heard, returning the scene back to Tom's prison cell]
Calypso: [Guards are taking roll call at the prison cells, calling each inmate's name. When he's called, Calypso, instead of a simple "here," answers with a musical verse, sung Calypso-style] "I'm here Mr. Man, I can't tell no lie. And I'll be right here till the day I die."
'Freshman' Stack: [Joe has just been returned to his cell after spending some time in solitary. His cellmates are bringing him up to date on latest developments] About the stool pigeon, Joe, we made arrangements. Everything is okay.::Joe Collins: Everything's okay? What's okay? Nothing's okay. It never was and it never will be. Not till we're out. You get that? Out.
