Plot
An idealistic journalist in postwar Italy.
Sinekatalog’s take
Dino Risi's comedy-drama follows an idealistic journalist and former partisan from the war through postwar Italy's compromises. Alberto Sordi is superb in a funny, bitter and moving classic of commedia all'italiana.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
