Comedy is the hardest genre, it's not easy to make people laugh. That's what Dustin Hoffman tried in this film shot in Italy, in Rome, with a mostly Italian cast, including Franco Fabrizi, Riccardo Garrone and the beautiful Elsa Martinelli. The script is not great, but all the actors tried to give their best. The funniest is Dustin Hoffman, in a role of an idiot who is not exactly an idiot, which is the most difficult thing to do. It's not Hoffman's best role, it's one of his first roles, it doesn't compare to his exceptional roles in movies like "The Graduate", "Midnight Cowboy", "Marathon Man", "Papillon", "Straw Dogs" , "Alfredo Alfredo", "Straight Time", "Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me?". Still worth seeing!
