El gran farsante

Dino Risi is one of the greatest Italian film directors ever. Very prolific and very talented. He made a lot of great movies and excelled in comedy. I will name just a few of the best: "The Monsters" (1963)I mostri(original title) (one of the best Italian films of all time, also with Vittorio Gassman), "The Treasure of San Gennaro" (1966 )Operazione San Gennaro(original title), "The Tiger and the Pussycat" (1967)Il tigre (original title), "Torture Me But Kill Me with Kisses" (1968) Straziami ma di baci saziami(original title), "Dirty Weekend"(1973) Mordi e fuggi (original title), "Scent of a Woman"(1974)Profumo di donna (original title) (again with Vittorio Gassman) (in the American remake, Al Pacino would win an Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role). Vittorio Gassman, along with Alberto Sordi, Ugo Tognazzi and Nino Manfredi, is one of the 4 Great Italian Comedian Actors, and 4 of the greatest actors in the world of all time. Great acting performance for Vittorio Gassman here in this "Love and Larceny", an opportunity for him to show his unique talent. Dorian Gray, Anna Maria Ferrero and Mario Carotenuto are also very good in their roles. However, in today's world, it's a film only for those who appreciate Italian cinema (the best of all) and, especially, for those who know and appreciate Vittorio Gassman.
