    Nice

    This is not a real review, it should be taken more as a collection of impressions on the film.

    Very Italian old Italian film that embodies the comedy of the classic comedies of errors before this type of comedy was widely abused by moviegoers. So as a film it is quite entertaining and also quite curious and is worth watching more for its historical value in Italian cinema than for anything else because it is a very normal comedy film. In conclusion, therefore, if you want to watch a very light comedy and without any pretense from the fifties, this is a good choice of film. In conclusion this is a qite nice movie.
