Description
Cast: Ugo Tognazzi, Claude Dauphin, Duilio Del Prete
Advocating for a harder line, a fascist party deputy (La Cage Aux Folles star Tognazzi) decides to overthrow his fellow officers. Inspired by the real-life coup attempt of Prince Valerio Borghese, Monicelli’s black comedy evokes an hilarious and sometimes grotesque vision of contemporary Italian politics and society.
