User Reviews

a very intelligent and ironic film

I think it is a very nice film. Tognazzi, Arena and Sordi are fantastic. Monicelli is one of the best italian directors, his comedies are all fun and intelligent at the same time. If you like this kind of film I suggest to see "L'armata Brancaleone", acted by Gasman, one of the best italian actor.
