    • Trivia
      Carlo Verdone stated in an interview that the scene where real estate agent Armando Feroci (Carlo Verdone) shows a crumbling apartment to his future wife Marcella (Ines Nobili) was really shot in a dilapidated building. To get a permission for filming, they had to promise that they would have shot the scene in few minutes: the actors played without the possibility of doing mistakes, while the building was noticeably creaking around them.

    Plot Summary

    The title is more than just a play on 'Carlo Verdone'.

    Gallo in Italian means rooster and the character played by Verdone, Armando Feroci, is a real ladies man passing up no opportunity to hit on the women he meets. The film explains the life of Armando Feroci in the eyes of his friends, his wife, his daughter, his brother and his brother's wife, all the while revolving around the plot of Feroci's kidnapping. Who took him? Will he be freed? Why did it happen? This is an extremely funny film, one of Verdone's best, and I'd recommend it to anybody.
