And from here begins a hilarious escalation of surreal and paradoxical situations that will bring Pasquale almost madness because he refers the order to the very bad Salvatore, not knowing what kind of liquor the humor recommends, to correct it with a dash of Fernet. At this point Pasquale arrives to take the order but the unfortunate and improvised waiter, also because of the lack of knowledge of the job, not understanding that the girl orders the coffee while she is animatedly conversing with her boyfriend, thinks that humor is some kind of liquor. The girl who is no longer satisfied with her partner asks for more humor. Unfortunately for our hero, on his first day of work, he runs into a couple of engaged couples who are arguing about the wrong relationship. In fact, each employee knows the motto of the bar by heart “My name is Salvatore Gargiulo and if you make a mistake, I will break your c …” The scene takes place in a bar in Rome for the precision of this energetic employer Salvatore Gargiulo, ruthless towards his employees. Pasquale is, in short, the prototype of the new proletarian unable to insert himself in society despite his innumerable efforts (hence the title of the film).

The film, and it could not be otherwise for an Italian comedy, bases its vis comica on the misunderstandings that will lead our protagonist to live a series of surreal and funny situations. The film tells the adventures (or rather the misadventures) of Pasquale Baudaffi who in search of new employment (after serving the prison sentence in the Roman prison of Regina Coeli) will combine all the colors. Among the films that gave him the greatest popularity in Banfi we mention The coach in the ball, Eye, Parsley and Fennel evil eye, Fracchia and the human beast.Īlso “Vieni avanti cretino” of 1982 directed by Luciano Salce is considered among the funniest and best successful films.
The criticism, moreover, has never been generous and has always looked haughtily at the films of the sexy comedy of the 70s and 80s which today, however, have been reevaluated for its veiled criticism of society and costumes of the time. The idea of ”‹”‹proposing the Apulian comedy to the public if, on the one hand, it was brilliant and innovative, on the other hand it was reckless because, unlike the classic and consolidated figures – such as those of the Neapolitan and Sicilian comedians – the Bari one was original, unpublished. Irresistible and overwhelming many of his scenes, such as that of a coffee with humor, become true cult, Lino Banfi, during his long career, has been able to be appreciated and become one of the most popular actors of Italian cinema and television.
