Description
Afraid that their nephew Gianni will stop studying because of his romance with a starlet, the three Caponi brothers leave for Milan to persuade him to abandon the "Malafemmina.” Based on a song written and composed by Totò, this is the first of 5 films where the names of Totò and Peppino are coupled together in the title. Their Neapolitan contribution to 50s blonde bombshell films is a brilliant surrealistic spoof and was a critics' favorite.
