Mastroianni, who was Oscar-nominated, truly shines in this wildly funny, darkly humorous Italian comedy, which was a huge international hit.

This is one of the funniest pictures the Italians have sent along.

It is the most subversive jab at Mastrioanni's chauvinist characters possible, circumstantial metaphysics in which the lecher is targeted by the very film he inhabits.

Wickedly funny black comedy satirizes Italy's antiquated institutions.

A brilliant comic performance from Mastroianni which has been compared to the deadpan style of Keaton.

Murder has rarely been as mirthful (cinematically speaking, of course) as in this uproarious Italian comedy.

Skillfully written, with a penetrating, almost brutal glimpse of Sicily and its antiquated way of life, it has been directed by Pietro Germi with lagless pace and consistent incisiveness, evoking constant chuckles rather than isolated guffaws.

It remains a terrific entertainment, a European corollary to Preston Sturges.
