The Italian two-part comedy Il signore della truffa, 2010, directed by Luis Prieto, tells a household story in which tenants of a small town house on Lake Maggiore fell. Once all of them (and for the second time) received letters demanding to pay 100 thousand euros of alleged debt for apartments they bought in a mortgage. It turned out that they were not informed that the developer to bring the house in order took a loan, which was automatically hung on the owners of apartments. Since none of the tenants had such money, they decided to seek the help of retired financial police general Nicola Persico (Gigi Proietti), who also lived in the house. None of them, of course, did not know that this name has long been hiding a very experienced fraudster Federico Sinacori, however, long left (almost) his craft, known as the King of the scam, which no one has ever managed to catch. He at first did not want to take up this business, but then agreed, deciding to teach a lesson to the group of crooks who at one time organized this scam with apartments, forcing them to pay the money they demanded from the tenants, and his own benefit he received absolutely no. That’s where the whole story begins, presented in a typical Italian manner, while clarifying some of the life circumstances of the “king” and the reasons why he settled in this city, and why he continued to live under this name, they are quite everyday and again from the guise of a skilled fraudster looks good man. Not to say that the film is very outstanding, no, but it is quite possible to watch, the actors are not bad, the types are interesting and different, the end is again quite happy, including for the king of scams.
