Carved Gassman It is said that in the original version of the film consisted of three episodes: with Nino Manfredi, Alberto Sordi and Vittorio Gassman. I saw a copy for the American rental from Columbia, and there is no episode with Gassman, as well as the name of the actor in the credits.
A social satire devoted to the study of the causes of protest moods. Students conflict with teachers, showing their disrespect. The teachers respond in kind. One of the rebels is the son of Beretta, head of the international department of a large company. Beretta Jr.’s key phrase: “I don’t want to be like you.” Her father will remember her when he goes to America with his boss, an elderly seigneur who considers himself an all-knowing God and an all-good Angel. Now it's Beretta Sr.'s turn to get up.
Alberto Sordi plays a priest. He serves his cause honestly and sincerely, the last five is ready to give people. Don Giuseppe Montanari is lonely, has not eaten a hot dinner for a long time, and sometimes remains hungry all day. Does anyone in this world need it? Oh, the protest is brewing.
Perhaps the stories told in the film were relevant to Italy in 1970. But today the picture looks old, like one of its heroes - Don Montanari. And although Nino Manfredi and Michelle Simon wonderfully played the roles of a subordinate and a boss, Alberto Sordi got a character with a monotonous expression on his face.
