,,, Caruso and not Baruso, clear.

"that there are nostalgic Neapolitans scattered all over Italy to support the supremacy of Totò is a fact"...maybe you are confusing it with Enrico Baruso in the days of the Mano Nera at Brookkolino.

@hugoniot, no controversy, let’s skip the small talk, but tell me where, apart from Fantozzi and in a few other films (the episode "Si buana" from "Dove vai in vacanza", or "La mazurka del barone..." or "La voce della luna", which are all directed by top-notch directors) Paolo Villaggio has shown greater acting genius than Totò? Perhaps in "Io no spik inglish" or "Banzai"?

@ole: I don't know? I think it's a problem with the website's database; in fact, when you fill out the review form, there's no checkbox for the year of publication.

@hugoniot, since you insist, let's set things straight... it was the reviewer who brought up the comparisons with Franco Franchi, Villaggio, and Totò all in the same boat of genius. That you prefer Villaggio over Totò doesn’t prevent me from digesting the spaghetti with clams I just ate, but I’ll tell you that if we went for coffee together and ran into Villaggio at the bar, I would tell him that on this site they assert he is more genius than Totò, and I’m sure he would roll on the floor laughing just like I did in the scene where the referee gets kicked in the balls for the high ball in the first Fantozzi...

ahhh but I am physically and character-wise just like master Clint in "Fear in the Night," I only melt in private... if by cellphone you mean the police one, I'm sorry but I was born afterwards, if instead it’s the mobile phone, then I saw it being born while I was already getting laid (actively, just to be clear).

"Last days" moved me deeply in some parts, while it may have made others laugh instead. But for me, the best Van Sant film is "Gerry," and I think it will remain so for the rest of his life and mine. Amen.

@bjorki, do you know where Munnezza Daunpezzo is? Vanzina explains it in the film "2061: A Remarkable Year"; it's the place where our descendants will go skiing on the heaps of trash piled up in the streets for the past couple of years now. And excuse me, if your ears have been repeatedly assaulted by the misfits of Pussy Galore, then you can withstand any threshold of pain, it's your nickname that deceives.@NIBIIO: you’re right, there’s no trace of garage, Chesterfield Kings, Vipers, Cynics, Outta Place, Miracle Workers (and if I don’t mention others, the messiah Shelley Ganz will forgive me) are rare commodities around here, unfortunately.

Is Villaggio even better than Totò? Please, you can put Totò in any crappy movie and he’ll raise the watchability to a thousand. Put the otherwise excellent Villaggio in terrible films like "I pompieri" or others, and the movie remains an absolute piece of crap, worse than Battleship Potemkin.
