This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
Classic Italian film with Celentano where at the end he sings as usual. As for the plot, the film is very simple and consists of several parts all united by this stuff of honor and stabs. In reality there is not much to say about this film because it is a very normal Italian comedy without too much soul and also without too much inspiration which entertains but is absolutely not a masterpiece. In general the film is therefore widely watchable and entertaining without too many pretensions and therefore also quite enjoyable.

Nice
Great Italian costume comedy action piece.
Though it doesn't seem to have had much, if any, English language distribution, this is one of the best pieces from Italian mega star Celantano (he did the first number in DOLCE VITA) and director Corbucci, the Italian Sam Fuller.
Possibly influenced by Fellini ROMA, it is quite ambitiously staged, with a constructed street complete with train. The conflict between the butchers and fish mongers, with cop Valli trying to keep the lid on is played for laughs. Mori (Mrs. Celantano) and her method of breaking up the fight are nice and the scene of heavy featured Adriano looking for a bigger fish is one of the best laughs I know. OK Roman fountain finale.
Innovative touches, like the deceptive end to the stills sequence titles. Good production values and Rustichelli score.
