fun is guaranteed with Pozzetto

I am a big fan of Pozzetto and I enjoy his comedies, even when the plot is a bit weak like in "Fico d'India". The movie is about a province Latin Lover, Arrigo, who, among many others, chases Pozzetto's wife. For a series of unlikely events, Arrigo ends up completely paralyzed in Pozzetto's bed. Pozzetto has to take care of him and his tortured by the jealousy. Pozzetto must keep secret the presence of Arrigo in his house. The funny part is when in the village people start to realize that something strange is going on, and gossip about the strange "menage a trois". The movie is enjoyable, although not comparable with "La patata bollente", a true masterpiece.

A comedy which is a comedy

Funny movie even if a bit obvious. However, he is one of my favorite ones about this actor because he lacks that melodramatic part that distorts the comedy and that he forcibly slips into some of his movies.

Trivia
ORIGIN OF THE TITLE: TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONS: 1) The film was actually to be called "Onore a tre piazze" (echoing Steno's "Letto a tre piazze," also starring Totò and Peppino). It was Steno's wife, finding the chosen title - rightly - horrendous, who suggested "'Fico d'India," which as Legnani recalls is a metaphor used by the doctor brother of Pozzetto's character, to symbolize the risk of Buccilli's presence in his house.

2) Another version, on the other hand, Tomasmilia reports to us: The title Fico d'india (Prickly Pear), from what Sandro Ghiani told in a interviewed, came from the name of a trattoria that was on the road to Bracciano. One day, probably unconvinced by the title Three-Square Honor, they saw the sign of the inn. Steno thought about it and said, "It sounds good as a title!".
