“Let everyone be fully compensated.” An unexpectedly powerful film about the class contradictions of the consumer society. The all-powerful businessman Lorenzo Santénochito hates young hairy people for their free morals. He puts them in his car just to express his contempt. Modest investigator Mariano Bonifazzi tries to put in the place of overzealous businessman Santénochito, turning him from a witness into a suspect in the murder of a young prostitute. The pathologist doctor, Bonifazzi's friend, doesn't care about everything: "You're out of shit, and you'll turn into shit thanks to progress."
The remarkable tandem of screenwriters - Agenore Incrocci and Furio Scarpelli - created such sparkling and accurate dialogue that actors Vittorio Gassman and Hugo Toniazzi had no choice but to shine in all their acting glory. Gassman is especially good, who has always succeeded in the images of liars and rascals, in the role of a “speculator of the highest brand with huge connections.”
Good and numerous secondary characters, in which there is not a drop of conscience. They, like devils from terrible fairy tales, constantly get confused under their feet, cause confusion and destroy the logic of natural human relationships. What are the parents of the deceased girl!
By whipping up the atmosphere, Dino Risi scales up the confrontation between the two men to the scale of the Crusade against a society mired in lies. As you know, in the civil war prisoners are not taken.
