      good Italian Comedy (I watched it in Russian translation, still very funny)

      A fun movie to watch, you wont regret it if u like Italian Comedy and the Actor himself (Celentano). In the movie Adriano Celentano (Elia) thinks that women are no good and prefers to live his healthy life alone with his dog and House keeper. Until one day a beautiful young woman comes to his house asking to stay for the night. Elia makes a horrible first impression by being rude towards the stranger. Nevertheless, she seems to like it about him and that what makes her want to stay in his company.

      So great to be real

      The film is just super. Old, but so cool. There is no vulgarity, as in most films today. And it's considered ridiculous. And then why the generation is now. Here, funny and without vulgar. You can, learn new comedies in such films. I advise you to look.

      THE OBNOXIOUS BACHELOR

      A superb Italian comedy that I keep watching everytime I am with a new girlfriend because it is a sure thing to enjoy and comment afterwards ......Celentano,s serious face when he delivers his punchlines are all the money and on the other hand Ornella,s irresistable beauty is fully blossomed....her mole on the bridge of her nose was is and will be the most distinquishable imperfection surpassing easily Scarlet Johansons swollen lip or Natalie Dormer,s cruked smile......... the girl is a godess ...and the chemistry between her and Adriano is undeniable......allthough Ornella is a happy grandmother now and plays barefoot with her grandchildren till her feet turn black (we are fb friends) she still remains as beautiful as ever

      Omnipresent Irony

      Elia is a confirmed bachelor in the thirties, living with a housemaid in an Italian village. The film starts with men talking about Elia's unbearable character, and these statements are illustrated by him entering and insulting everybody who comes in his way. The housemaid finds women for Elia, but he always succeeds in chasing them away with his awfulness until on a rainy night beautiful Lisa knocks on the door...

      Although this film is done with little expense, its obviously exaggerated character can be very amusing. Undoubtedly it is a matter of taste; either you love it or you hate it.
