Toto againat four of his better and longtime sidekicks (Aldo Fabrizi, Peppino de Filippo, Macario and Nino taranto). Like most of his Steno directed flicks it's mostly a hilarious spoof this time of police procedurals italian style of course. Of all the four episodes only one is quiite lame and dull (the one with Macario and the fake Landru) while the others are all funny (my fav is the one with Taranto as a Customs Inspector with a puzzling paesant accent). It's one of Toto last movies, burdened, almost blind and still a roring lion. Then came Pasolini and well... That's another story. Rate: three and a half stars out of five.

Trivia
The three cases faced by officer Antonio Saracino ( Totò ) were inspired by real cases. The case of inspector Giuseppe Mastrillo ( Nino Taranto ) is inspired by the case of inspector Cesare Mastrella, who managed a fraud to the Italian state of 750,150,000 lire in 1962. The case of the poisoned drink is inspired by the case of a man who was killed by a poisoned bitter sent by his wife's lover in August 1962. The case of inspector La Matta ( Erminio Macario ) cites the famous case of Henri Landru, a Frenchman who killed at least ten rich and lonely women in the beginning of the 20th century.
