I have need months to get this film. Knowing that Tin and I, always never agree on films, it was double that hard....
Not only I will never regret, but I am thankful for this recommendation.
From the early 60´s it is a breath of fresh air. Still.
This film is so true to his time, and so near to my own experience in my past, that it make any old goat jump higher...
Vittorio Gassman is unique, flamboyant, full of life, what an actor!
Trintignant is the perfect match, and for Catherine Spaak, sister of Deneuve, who died so tragically in a car accident in Nice, we only have eyes for her beauty...
A comedy? Not really, a tragedy, not really...A film to enjoy for every second, really.
One of the finest of Italian cinema.
Merci Tin!

finally getting some Taste. This may be the "corrupting" film that leads you to "tin-sel town."
I agree with all your comments. Gassman's performance is one of those rarities that embodies not just a character but an ARCHETYPE. In this case, the apotheosis of the Italian male.
Alas, I don't have a copy. When I lived in Portland, an excellent video store had a copy.

Of good films...After seeing " Le Fanfaron " you should have persevered in this direction.
We will see to put on the right track again.....

I mixe up C. Spaak with Francoise Dorléac who was the sister of Deneuve!

Reading the plot summary I get the feeling that I saw it long time ago, but of course it is not available here, so I can only keep guessing.On ebay someone was selling copies... except they are in Italian with Spanish subs... bummer!
Gassman, nearly unknown in the US, is one of the true monuments.
But don't be too hard to tin - he liked Alexandr Nevsky below... and Professione: Reporter too, so that's at least two good shots.

***PS: What are two " good " shots out of one hundred? Peuh....Well, that's still whole lot better than how he does in politics!
But I will gladly borrow a copy from ANYONE, even the Devil himself!
I'll use Patrick's collection as a collateral.
