Though it was released in 1961, the Italian director Dino Risi’s Italian post-war comedy was never distributed in the US due to a series of distribution missteps.
The story of Silvio, a left-leaning journalist and former resistance fighter trying to hold onto his politics while providing for his family after a war, is a riotous comedy wrapped around a stinging political core.
“A stellar specimen of commedia all’Italiana by a true master of the form.” –A.O. Scott, The New York Times
