Like the great English comedian, Toto used playing many roles in the same film. Here he plays 6 different roles. The best, actually very best compared to the others, are the fascist general and the surgeon. Otherwise, the film is a forced comic, very boring and predictable. Raimondo Vianello, as in all the movies I've seen him, is a monument of boredom and ridicule.

Just for Toto's fans.

Can murder be funny? Even mass murder as some might call what is going on here? Well that will be up to you to decide. This does not make a mystery of one thing: how silly it is - which can be seen as funny or annoying of course depending on the person who watches.

I dig it, I have watched numerous movies that have the same feeling and vibe to them. Mostly German ones I have to admit under the Edgar Wallace banner. Good stuff there and at least as good or maybe even better than this one. Still this is more than a decent and good effort, if you let it work on you.

As I read in the previous comment this movie is just an "unfunny burlesque". Even we cannot say this is the best film of Totò it belongs to the category of movies of Totò, where he is in any case a perfect sample or better the last sample of "comici dell'Arte". Maybe this cannot be understood out of Italy, but the enormous skills of this Artist are all there. For instance his characterization of the fascist "gerarca" and the Lady Laudomia, and the so matching neapolitan nobleman, or the sketch of the surgery (incomparable!)coming directly from "Teatro di Rivista" (the Italian Tivoli Burlesque). An unforgettable critic of Italian characters! Sure we can find similar commercial movies in American and other countries cinematographies, maybe not always performed by Artists of the same caliber in improvisation of this , we can say , Italian Mask. Let's just take one of Totò's inventions inside this movies "Io lo mando a Ponza a Ponzare!" (I'm sending him "fungooing" )
