Production
[edit | edit source]Principal photography started in May 1980.[1] The film was shot at Icet-De Paolis studios in Cinecittà.[2]
Reception
[edit | edit source]Piero Perona in La Stampa noted how the film, "rich in wit and style, consisted mainly of a revisiting of the silent cinema that directly inspired it", particularly Harry Langdon, Max Linder, Larry Semon and Charlie Chaplin.[3] According to Giovanni Grazzini from Corriere della Sera, in this film Nichetti displayed a "a greater maturity in narrative structure but a more fragile inspiration" than in his debut film Ratataplan.[4] Cinema Nuovo's Ivo Franchi described the film as "structurally weak", with "flimsy characters" and comic situations he compared to TV variety show sketches.[2]
