Beschrijving:Dino Risi started in the '50s with the comedy POOR BUT BEAUTIFUL (GIOVANI E BELLI) and brought a new realistic and cheerful tone in the area of cinema. The film that made his name is THE EASY LIFE (IL SORPASSO) which inaugurated the bitter satire, a genre that made its mark in Italy.
The hero of the film whose only engagement is to have a good time becomes friendly with a serious young man who is conscious of his obligations.
Very good performances by Vittorio Gassman and Jean-Louis Trintignant.
