Although unusually good looking for an Italian comedy, "L'uomo della fortuna" is not as well written as you would like it to be. The plot is simple and straightforward enough, but the film eventually succumbs to a fatal lack of decision on the tone of the story, switching too often and too abruptly between dreamlike romance, screwball comedy and drama. A good photography and carefully constructed compositions show director Silvia Saraceno is a much better a director than she's a writer.
