You can watch The Italian Connection (1972) for free on Kanopy.

When a shipment of heroin disappears between Italy and New York, a small-time pimp in Milan is framed for the theft. Two professional hitmen are dispatched from New York to find him, but the real thieves want to get rid of him before the New York killers get to him to eliminate any chance of them finding out he's the wrong man.

This brutal crime caper swaps standard police chases for a frantic, three-way hunt through the sun-drenched underworld of Milan. Hitmen and heroin thieves collide in a sweaty race to silence a framed scapegoat before anyone can talk.
