Plot

Sweet-sour comedy on Italy's 1950s rage to get rich as a man tries to impress his wife by selling a part of his body.

Sinekatalog’s take

Vittorio De Sica's Il boom, with Alberto Sordi and Gianna Maria Canale, is bitter and funny, a sharp satire on money and morals.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
