The Accomplices?

I recently purchased a film online called The Accomplices, thinking it was going to be the 1959 film L'inferno Addosso (which translates as Hell Upon Us, at least according to Google translate. I should have paid more attention to my Italian lessons in school).

Instead I received a 1955 film called I Due Compari (The Two Friends although listed as The Accomplices in IMDB).

This did not help with my facebook project of watching all the films listed in Leonard Maltin's classic movie guide in alphabetical order.

I went ahead and watched the film anyway. It is a rather silly "comedy" about a bloke who pretends he is a businessman so his daughter, who he has sent to a classy boarding school, won't know he is actually a peddler of useless pens in the streets of Rome with his friend.

The story was mildly amusing at time but at others just annoying. This might be partially explained by the quality of the translation which was really. Really really, bad. Even someone like myself who has very rudimentary Italian reading skills could see how horrid it was.
