Bankers Also Have Souls (French: Le Cadeau;Italian: Il regalo), also released as The Gift, is a 1982 French and Italian film. It stars Claudia Cardinale.[1] It is based upon the play written by Italo Terzoli and Enrico Vaime, originally brought to success by Gino Bramieri, Valeria Valeri and Paola Tedesco.[2]

Gregoire is retiring after many years with the same bank, and his colleagues surprise him with the gift of a beautiful call girl, Barbara. Thinking she is a conquest, he impersonates the bank president, leading to a comedy of mistaken identities.

Reception

[edit | edit source]

While praising the original play, Italian critic Tullio Kezich described the film as "a rancid frozen dish à la Feydeau, stuffed with archaeological gags".[2]
