Cast
What it is about
The film is made up of two independent stories. In the first, a comic book artist going through a creative slump has his routine upended after a chance encounter with a woman he does not know. In the second, a writer in his sixties travels to the spas of Montecatini looking for inspiration, but the daughter of an old friend, a twenty-year-old woman, stirs his senses.
How it was made
Directed by Sergio Corbucci, with a screenplay by Nino Manfredi, Bernardino Zapponi and Renato Pozzetto, and produced by Achille Manzotti. The score is by Gaio Chiocchio, the cinematography by Alessandro D'Eva and the editing by Amedeo Salfa. Manfredi and Pozzetto lead the cast, alongside Gianni Agus, Sylva Koscina and Janet Ågren.
Reception and legacy
It was a box office hit in Italy on its release. In a retrospective review, critic Roberto Curti found the direction sloppy and careless, and felt the film was largely a vehicle for Pozzetto and Manfredi to perform their comedy routines.
