    • Trivia
      Walter Matthau's voice is dubbed into Italian by another actor.
    • Crazy credits
      The main titles are displayed as if written on papyrus, with a variety of colours in the background, and they subsequently "burn away" and dissolve.

    Gut bustingly funny
    My wife Dani turned me on to this film and it has to be one of the funniest films I've ever seen in my life! The shame is that it is so difficult to find ....we only managed to find a rental copy in Curitiba, Brasil and a German language version via Amazon.com.de (Germany). Why is it that the US and UK distributors do not carry it? We think that it is his best film and by the way, one of Walter Matthau's finest and funniest performances!
