Featured review
I think I learned Italian from this movie, I watched it so many times.
I've simply never loved a movie as so cute and funny as this, its well worth tracking it down, Its still pretty available if you know the right places to look.
Roberto and Nicoletta are perfect together on and off screen, truly a mating of Eagles as the Romans would say.
take the perfect vaudeville act, Where you have some idiot who is just a heart of Gold, mix in a scheming Mafia donna, take a bunch of Italians in good suits add a little illegal narcotics done by politicans.
Steal a banana or two, and then change places with a murderous Cut throat assasino. What do you get? Superb cinema.
