Five middle-aged friends in Florence play elaborate practical jokes on the world around them.
Sinekatalog’s take
Mario Monicelli's comedy follows five middle-aged Florentines whose cruel pranks mask fear of ageing. Funny, bitter and sharp, with Ugo Tognazzi and Philippe Noiret, it is a classic of Italian comedy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
