Description

Product Description

Beautifully restored in HD, this classic film is now released for the first time in North America on Blu Ray.

Acclaimed Italian auteur Ettore Scola pairs up with legendary actor Nino Manfredi in this irreverent Cannes-winning comedy. Giacinto (Manfredi), along with four generations of his sprawling, crooked clan, lives in a cramped, dilapidated home on the outskirts of Rome. When a work accident leaves him blind in one eye, the derelict Giacinto suddenly finds himself rolling in insurance money. Refusing to share the wealth, Giacinto’s relatives concoct several harebrained plots in hopes of wrenching the riches away.

Bonus Features, include: Commentary by Richard Peña, Director Emeritus, New York Film Festival, and Professor of Film Studies, Columbia University.

Package includes: Collector’s Booklet with film essay by film scholar, Ronald Bergan.; cast and crew credits; chapter breaks; stills.
