Cast

Vittorio Gassman Ugo Tognazzi

Plot

A series of satirical sketches about the vices and absurdities of Italian society.

Sinekatalog’s take

Dino Risi's anthology of sketches skewers Italian vices and hypocrisies with Vittorio Gassman and Ugo Tognazzi in many roles. Fast, cynical and funny, it is a classic of commedia all'italiana.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
