A Comedy For Totò's Fans

Professional gold digger Yvonne Sanson is hypnotized by her boyfriend into thinking that hotel waiter Totò is an immensely wealthy Indian potentate. She makes a date to meet him on Capri, where he accidentally steals the real Indian's luggage -- including a snake -- and is believed by the degenerate but Code-compliant rich of the island into believing he is the.... well you get it. Of course, Totò is married, with a nasty mother-in-law and even nastier juvenile brother-in-law.

Totò indulges in a lot of eye-rolling, and the movie as a whole is no more than a vehicle for him and his fans. Happily, I am one.
