Another Italian comedy carried by the comedic duo of Totò and Peppino De Filippo, this movie - about two idiotic uncles on a quest to face an actress who, they believe, has seduced their naive nephew - would be worthless without them.
Still, these two charismatic actors and their great chemistry make the movie droll and occasionally hilarious. There are several iconic scenes which have entered the collective memory of Italian cinema: the recurrent destruction of the hated neighbor's windows; the arrival in Milan dressed up as cossacks; the ill-fated dialogue with a policeman; the memorable letter scene, ad-libbed by the actors and later homaged by Roberto Benigni and Massimo Troisi.
7/10
