Money or love that's the matter

Beautiful comedy and sobering about the differences of social class, wealth and power. A not very veiled critic about human materialism exemplified by a man divided between two women, the first poor and the second rich. The choice between love and seduction will be difficult to find but the heart will guide it well.

A very enjoyable light italian comedy

Il conte Tacchia is very enjoyable light comedy. The story is pretty original. This is the story of the son of a carpenter who always dreamed to belong to royalty around the turn of the century in Rome. He gets the chance to rub elbows with the aristocrats and discovers that he cannot be who he is not, and finally realizes what is really important. Montesano is very funny, and Gassman is fabulous. See it if you have the chance.
