Trivia
According to Teddy Reno, the whole take of the letter (perhaps the most famous and referenced of the entire movie) was totally ad-libbed by both Totò and Peppino De Filippo. They were often unsatisfied with the script of the movie and frequently diverted from it: the letter take was one of the most successful.

The greatest black and white movie ever

This is my favorite all time black and movie. To understand the humor, you need to know enough Italian (and sometimes Naples accent too) to understand it, and to understand the jokes.. they don't translate to other languages.

Toto' aka Antonio de Curtis for me is what Chaplin was to many - except that he is funny with the movies with audio, unlike Chaplin. There are many of his movies I like a lot and enjoy seing after having been a long time abroad (out of Italy), but this is far the greatest. Toto' and Peppino are two poor men from the Southern Italy countryside, and hear that their nephew is dating a 'bad woman' (the title means that, but not necessarily in bad sense) in Milan, and they go there to rescue him.. thinking they are abroad.. this movie is so full of timeless jokes, it is impossible to watch this and be on a bad mood.
