      I was impressed
      I've always been eager to see movies with the great Alberto Sordi in the lead role. Usually they are comedies, some very successful. This time we find him in a movie that starts as a comedy, then becomes extremely dramatic, it even makes you shiver. Hours after I just watched him I keep thinking about him. Life is sometimes very unfair to some. The way he does justice is fully justified, after seeing how much he loved his son for whom he did everything to see him employed in a good position, he also gives his son marital advice, in a word, he takes care of his future as well as possible, even resorting to the help of Freemasonry. No such films are made anymore. nowadays.
