I like this movie!okay, maybe because I have a white cat (nice like that, and why IMDb don't put "Romoletto" on the cast?),I have a similar job like the protagonist and the same mediterranean laziness!But this movie could be enjoyable for everybody, a good performance of Nino Manfredi (simply one of the best Italian actors of all the times) a successful mix of dream and reality with funny situations that could happen to everybody, and a problem that grip on me..."If you don't like a kind of job,change it!" like Mrs Jacopetti says...mm pretty lady..it's not so easy!Believe me! Anyway, if you think "work kills",watch it!

Nino Manfredi has much better movies than this one, he is one of the most talented comedians from Italy and around the world. The story of this "L'impiegato" has nothing special, nothing interesting, no extraordinary acting performances. It's just a trivial story of an official who risks losing his job due to progress, his relationship with his sister, his cat, his colleagues and, especially, the new boss at work played by Eleonora Rossi Drago. Eleonora Rossi Drago has a sexy presence in a scene, showing her beautiful legs and thighs, in some black underwear. It's the best scene of the film. Something similar is done by Anna Maria Ferrero, appearing only in underwear, in several scenes. It's obvious that these appearances only in underwear of the two actresses are intended to save the film from a total catastrophic boredom. Gianni Puccini would have done very well to not have directed this film.
