This is a funny, thought-provoking movie. In addition to a comedy, this is a thoughtful character study. Every actor executed their role with talent and skill. Not only did I laugh several times but afterward I kept thinking about the motivations of the various characters and how believable each was.
There are various types of comedy represented in this movie, and although some of the buffoonery is not to my liking, I felt that it was not over represented and fit well in the story.
Totò did an excellent job expanding his usual excellent comic skills just enough into drama to give the story some depth. I hate to praise just one of the supporting cast, but I felt that Nino Taranto really stood out.
The director did an excellent job with many details.
Totò even gave a little nod to Charlie Chaplin.
I recommend this movie.
