One of the greatest Italian actors of all time, Vittorio Gassman (Bitter Rice), known as Il Mattatore The Showman earns his name from this film and his wonderful performance as an actor with the uncanny ability to mimic regional accents, allowing him to pull off a series of scams.

Alternately known as Love & Larceny, Dino Risi (Lost Soul) directs this classic comedy which was nominated for the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival and makes its English-subtitled Blu-ray debut.
