Il Mattatore (Aka Love And Larceny) Blu-Ray

One of the greatest Italian actors of all time, Vittorio Gassman (Bitter Rice), known as Il Mattatore "The Showman," got his name from this film and his fantastic performance as an actor with an incredible ability to imitate regional dialects, which enabled him to carry out a series of scams. This classic comedy, brilliantly written by screenwriters Ettore Scola and Ruggero Maccari, is directed by Dino Risi (Lost Soul) and was nominated for the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival.
