Totò at the best (as usual)

Nothing to add: This film is one of the masterpiece of Totò, better: one of the masterpiece of Italian comic cinema. Antonio de Curtis and Peppino's dialogues are the top of entertainment: the writing of the letter to Marisa is the most famous sketch of Italian cinema. The plot is simple, but no one care. This movie will make you laugh for two hours but also reflect about social problems of Italy after the World War II especially what concern the restrict mentality of the country people.
