Funny comedy from one to the best napolitan comedian

There isn't a lot to say. This movie is a funny enjoyable comedy. The plot is a bit more interesting than other comedies from the same years, and, as far as I know, it was depicted on a real episode happened in Italy.

Of course, Totó's jokes are very hard to be understood by non-italian speakers, just because his comicity relies partially on words and funny phrases. Of course, his facial expressions are very funny and made him famous in his years.

Despite form that, the actors, including Nino Taranto, are able to create such embarrassing and absurd situations, playing with the "madness" of their characters. The plot runs faster and, as I said, is far more interesting compared to other comedies, even modern ones (which rely mostly on nudity and dirty jokes).
