An absolute masterpiece. They should screen it in schools during History class so that kids can better understand what Italy was like during and after World War II and in the years of the "Reconstruction." Great review. Obviously, this is also a film that "makes you laugh," in my opinion: there are too many hilarious situations, like, for example, the scene where Silvio Magnozzi and his partner are in the palace of the monarchic nobles and the radio announces the victory of the republic while they find themselves alone "a magna'..." In the end, it's true that you watch this film "with one eye smiling and the other crying." Great Dino Risi, great Albertone.

It's incredible. It could be my own review. You've perfectly expressed my thoughts on the film and on "Italian comedies" in general... Well done!

While I agree with happyhippo (see the second comment at the top of the list) and with charley, I give a maximum rating to the film trilogy as a whole and also to your review. The latter deserves praise for bringing back old memories (and it encourages us to dig out the old VHS tapes of the works in question), and in my opinion, it’s not poorly written at all; actually, even though where it says "Meandri," it should be "Melandri." As for Monicelli's trilogy, even if its quality is 'declining,' it still remains better than many low-quality products shown today at the cinema that unjustly carry the label "commedia all'italiana" (and in this, I am perfectly in tune with Poletti).

"Yeah, but the fox doesn't have horns!"

Legendary.

... there is another prog band called Cirkus, English, which in '73 released an album named 'One', or 'Cirkus One'. Heavily influenced by the Moody Blues - and it closely resembles Cressida. I still don't know these other Circus (with a 'c' instead of a 'k'). I will get the album. A curiosity: until recently, I only knew the German Popol Vuh (those of Florian Fricke). Searching for their material with the e-donkey, I came across the Norwegian Popol Vuh: a very different kind of music, but extraordinarily exciting. This last band later changed its name, renaming itself Popol Ace...
