- Synopsis:
- One of the greatest Italian actors of all time, Vittorio Gassman (Bitter Rice) known as 'II Mattatore' - 'The Showman' earns his name from this film and his wonderful performance as an actor with the uncanny ability to mimic regional accents, allowing him to pull off a series of scams. Ingeniously plotted by screenwriters Ettore Scola, Ruggero Maccari and Sandro Continenza who were behind some of the greatest films in the commedia all'italiana including 'II Sorpasso' and 'Ugly, Dirty and Bad'. Alternately known as 'Love and Larceny', Dino Risi (Lost Soul) directs this classic comedy which was nominated for the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival...
