We Still Kill the Old Way (A ciascuno il suo) is a 1967 Italian crime drama directed by Elio Petri. The film stars Gian Maria Volonté as Professor Laurana, with Irene Papas and Gabriele Ferzetti in supporting roles.

As Laurana digs deeper, he uncovers a web of political corruption and mafia involvement. His relentless pursuit of the truth puts him in grave danger, as he naively underestimates the power of those he challenges. The film portrays the futility of seeking justice in a society controlled by hidden forces and systemic corruption.

We Still Kill the Old Way won the Best Screenplay award at the 1967 Cannes Film Festival and remains a significant film in the Italian neo-noir and political thriller genres.
