Italian B Comedy

A great Renato Pozzetto, in a not very high level movie. Some passages are unforgettable for the wonderful performance of this peculiar actor, that is in possession of a rather surrealistic sort of humourism. The plot is rather silly but it's interesting the "Comparison" between the quiet (even if intense) agricultural civilization and the metropolitan one (represented by Milan) too frenetic and little humanitarian. (Sorry for my English)
