Plot
A judge and an industrialist.
Sinekatalog’s take
Dino Risi's satire pits an upright judge against a corrupt industrialist who treats the law as a joke. Ugo Tognazzi and Vittorio Gassman are superb in a biting, funny and prophetic comedy of Italy's moral rot.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
