People with the surname

Malone (river)

Malone is a 48-kilometre (30 mi) long stream (torrente) of Piedmont, in north-western Italy. It is a left side tributary of the river Po which flows through the Canavese.

Geography

The river’s source is at Monte Soglio from which it falls quickly and rapidly through the communes of Corio, Rocca Canavese, Barbania and Front (TO), growing in force as it receives contributions from streams descending from the Riserva Naturale della Vauda nature reserve on its right bank.The Malone then runs past Rivarossa, Lombardore, San Benigno Canavese then arrives at Brandizzo (near Chivasso) where it enters the Po.

Regime

The Italian word torrente, translated as torrent, or stream, refers to a river in which the flow is subject to a wide and broadly predictable seasonal variation. Torrents often dry up in summer.

The Malone in full flood, however, can be genuinely “torrential” in the normal English sense of the word. The mean discharge of around 7 cubic metres per second (250 cu ft/s) can increase a hundredfold and cause great damage, as happened in the flood of October 2000.

Malone (film)

Malone is a 1987 American film adaptation of William P. Wingate's novel, written by Christopher Frank, directed by Harley Cokeliss, and stars Burt Reynolds, Cliff Robertson and Lauren Hutton.

Plot

A floatplane navigates through the Pacific Northwest, landing in Puget Sound. As the well-dressed passenger emerges, ex-CIA agent Richard Malone targets him in his crosshairs, but he is unable to pull the trigger. He burns his Maryland driver's license and heads inland. His Mustang breaks down in a rural Oregon valley. He manages to push it to Mountain Service station, owned by Paul Barlow who runs the station with his 17-year-old daughter Jo. Barlow suggests the fastest way to repair the car is to tow it 60 miles to a larger service station. Malone opts to stay and wait for the necessary parts to arrive. Paul invites Malone to stay in the spare room.

The next day, Jo snoops and finds through Malone's property including his gun. Malone helps Paul with his repair work and quickly sizes up the town, which is under the thumb of Charles Delaney, who buys up all the property he can and forces people to sell to him, when they first refuse. One day, as Malone walks Jo home from the bus stop, a group of Delaney's thugs harass Jo and refuse to let the couple proceed. Malone severely beats the ringleader, Dan Bollard, sending him to the hospital. Dan's brother, Calvin is goaded into killing Malone by Delaney's main henchman Madrid, but Malone kills Calvin instead.
