Trivia
The Abruzzo set was also the scene of a frightening accident, fortunately without serious consequences: during the shooting of the chase between the steering wheel seized by Aldo and the police vehicles, one of the two helicopters used had an engine failure and, in an attempt to making a emergency landing, hit the roof of one of the cars in the race, causing it to overturn and causing the slight injury of one of the actors on board.

Goofs

Super film!

I have always argued that the Italians are the most gifted in cinema (and not only), the most talented, simply the best. They excelled in all genres, Comedy, Drama, Political Film, Thriller, they reinvented the Western (Sergio Leone), etc. and so on. The following are just a few of the giants of the Italian screen, unfortunately, most of them unknown by the current generation in the crazy and increasingly idiotic world in which we all live: Volonte, Fellini, Masina, Magnani, Toto, Tognazzi, Manfredi, Gassmann, De Sica, Bertolucci, Pasolini, Antonioni, Petri, Damiani, Lizzani, Germi, Mastroianni, Sophia Loren, Paolo Villaggio and many others. I saw this movie finding a video tape. My first film with Aldo Baglio, Giacomo Poretti and Giovanni Storti, three Italian comedians, all three directors, scriptwriters and main actors (almost like Chaplin). I had a great surprise. An excellent movie, very original, unexpected and at the same time life-like comic situations. Film in the movie, overturning situations, surprise after surprise, Excellent with great E. Less the end, which I would have otherwise wanted. Great music by Negrita too!
