🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Dino Risi constructs a sharp satire of the Italian economic miracle, using a personal story as a universal parable about false values. The film relies on comedic situations that gradually reveal a tragic core, exploring how the lust for wealth corrodes human connections.

Those who tire of simplistic moralizing will find here a nuanced and painfully recognizable portrait of self-destruction. What lingers after the final scene is a question about the real cost of ambition. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Mauro Morassi
