Warning: Spoilers
Italy. End of the Second World War. A former entrepreneur of boxers launches in a adventure without fear: to congregate a group of amateur fighters who want to gain some "small change". Comedy of black mood signed by one of the greatest Director of the Seven Art (Mario Monicelli) the film has moments of incredible hilarity, as the scene: The personage called Diece - interpreted by Paolo Villagio - pay attention to his voice: it makes us to laugh only to listen to - stops in front of a jewelry store and when inquired for a person what he's doing in there, answers: I'm waiting the store to open in order to receive potatoes from favour... When the shop's owner arrives and sees a multitude of persons in front of it, orders everybody to hell... But before Diece had sold "his first place" in the line for a reasonable amount of money... Another memorable scene is that one in which "we're introduced" to an old truck that - will carry the "profissional fighters" - moves with a speed of a turtle and snorts and expells smoke, due a mixture of gas and water... This is without a doubt a great film )make by a Master) and surely deoppilate the liver because is makes us laugh until the tears. In a scale of 1 to 10, I vote: 9
