I really liked this movie when I first saw it in the 70's when I was a teenager. I kept thinking about it all the years, wanting to see it again. Revised in 2022, I can say that I like it just as much now that I have a mature
mind. It's an exceptional film, with a special subject, directed and interpreted in a masterful way. Especially Oliver Reed and Marcello Mastroianni achieve two admirable performances. The other actors are also big, Carole André, Lionel Stander, Nicoletta Machiavelli, Bruno Cirino. It's not a very funny comedy at all as naxash writes, but a pure drama. And Dino Risi is a great director. Absolutely to be seen and watched again. The film has a somewhat similar theme to "The Sugarland Express" with Goldie Hawn.
