If Rome is the capital of the world, then Alberto Sordi is his true son. He absorbed all the vices and valor of his homeland. His whole life was connected with his beloved city. He owed his first success to another great Roman - Fellini, and Italian became the only obstacle in his international career. On stage, Alberto Sordi might have seemed uncontrollable and rude, but could have been charming and slightly ridiculous. He played scammers and victims, sweet losers and unsurpassed drunkards with the manners of great comedians. But, even jokingly, he always remained serious.
Reviews
Beautiful, moving film.
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
