    Memories of a retiree Italian slicker!!!
    I recently have been watched a lot of Italian comedies, more I watch more I like, quite simple, they are witty, the partnership Gassman and Dino Risi were of an unparalleled quality, assigned by their writers as Sergio Pugliese, Ettore Scola among others who supplied fuels it needs to boost their natural gifts, Il Mattatore Gassman plays Gerardo Latini an already retiree slicker after his forced marriage with the eye candy Elena (Dorian Gray) when a crook tries fool him, he debonairly tells him his adventures when used to cheating, deceiving in smallest details, also his mentor and complicit, for Latin moral standards is very plausible and usual, a slight crude an amoral characters, but who cares anyway, indeed the picture has a priceless acting by the unmatched Vitorio Gassman, actually we cross our fingers for the crooks, seems crazy at first look but wasn't, it's an unharmful farce, very widespread in those time, laugh one's head off with a striking closing!!
