    Storyline

    Edit
    Necchi (a bar owner), Perozzi (a journalist), Melandri (an architect) and Mascetti (a broken nobleman) live in Florence. They have been friends since their youngest years and spend every free moment together organizing complex and terrible jokes to all the people they meet, or just wandering around Tuscany. One of these crazy trips ends up in the hospital run by military-like Professor Sassaroli. Melandri falls in love with his wife, and steals her from the husband, much to the delight of Sassaroli himself. The relationship won't last but the Professor becomes the fifth member of the team of friends, and jokes get even more complicated and powerful. —Alessio F. Bragadini <alessio@post.com>

    • Trivia
      The movie was supposed to be directed by Pietro Germi but he passed away in 1974. Mario Monicelli got on the helm of the movie but on the opening titles it is possible to read "A movie by Pietro Germi" as a tribute to the late director.

    The odd Quintet, maybe allowed for Latin people !!!
    Maybe I've can be wrong in my early understanding and theory over this kind of comedy, it works just for Latin people only, more spirituous, mostly of the people from Germanic's ethnicities as Anglo-Saxon and Nordics, although they are happy, in same time they are too retrained, serious shall we say, so starting this point of view, this weird behavior don't fit to them as to us, now speaking about this picture, just to face our lives we need some kind of humor, this quintet needs a lot, a fabulous and inventive picture of the daily life to forget their own aches and pains, Ugo Tognazzi is bankrupt's Count, proud don't accept any help, Noiret is an lonely and eccentric journalist who works at night, Gaston Moschin is bad temper architect, Del Petrie is bored Bar's owner and Adolfo Celi is a Surgeon, all sort of craziest things were made by them, just for fun, Pietro Germi wrote the story's concept and Monicelli directed due Germi was dead, actually l was hoping for something more stylish, but forget for a moment that's about a Italian comedy, some situation are coarse as in the Railway Station, another when Celi delivery all family is priceless on upcoming events, I hear about it but never got a chance to see it on TV, now so tardily I've it forever on my own DVD!!!
