Wissenswertes
A line of dialogue was censored. When the protagonist doesn't know an answer at the final examination, another character silently tries to help him by mimicking big ears and nose (the answer was "elephant"). The protagonist answers "Bartali!" (the name of a famous Italian cyclist who had pronounced ears and nose); this prompts the anger of the examiner. However, the name of the cyclist has been obviously dubbed over, as it's not the lead actor's voice, but the one of his frequent dubber and co-star Carlo Croccolo. The original line was "De Gasperi!" (the Italian Prime Minister at the time, also with pronounced ears and nose), which was deemed offensive and censored.

What Can A Poor Man Do?

Toto has spent thirty years as a bureaucrat in the Roman archives, and it comes to a head, worrying about promotions, titles, inflation that has made him a poor man, five daughters who have mad him poorer yet. Now he has spit by accident on the head of the archives, and every time he tries to apologize it only gets worse. Now, what with parrots killed during the War, andtrying to get his elementary school diploma without knowing what the largest lake in Italy is, his dreams of winning the lottery and taking care of his family come down to hoping that he can get the winning lottery number in Heaven.

It's a Toto vehicle that almost didn't past the censors because it mocked the government. Toto puts most of his verbal and physical mugging into what looks like a very loose burlesque of Chekhov's "The Death of a Government Clerk." He transforms a sad tale of impenetrable bureaucracy into a slapstick romp.
