The impossible meeting of the minute Rascel and the Junoesque Ekberg, in a scathing comedy that surprises<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You expect a Mastrocinque-style farce, perhaps played out largely on the contrast between the reduced dimensions of Renato Rascel and the imposing stature of Anita Ekberg (note: this was the same year La<\/em> Dolce Vita <\/em>was <\/em>released). Instead, we find ourselves confronted by a film that, without renouncing its light tone, is suffused with melancholy and tinged with bittersweet situations. The moralist touch at times equals the best of the commedia all’italiana<\/em>. It might be a small film: but it is a small film that surprises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Office worker Robotti becomes aware of a fraud being perpetrated with the complicity of the big fish in the bank where he works. Because of his honesty, he is fired. A chance encounter with prostitute Jane leads him to practice the art of criminality in style, so much so that he manages to get his hands on a majority of shares in his ex-bank. He will end up penniless, but he will find love. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1536,"template":"","project-category":[33],"project-genre":[48],"class_list":["post-2292","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project-category-cinema-en","project-genre-comedy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
