Name: L'impiegato
Genre: Comedy
Released: 1960-01-21
Duration: 1 h 35 min
Rating: 6.3
Cast: Nino Manfredi, Eleonora Rossi Drago, Andrea Checchi

Nino Manfredi has much better movies than this one, he is one of the most talented comedians from Italy and around the world. The story of this "L'impiegato" has nothing special, nothing interesting, no extraordinary acting performances. It's just a trivial story of an official who risks losing his job due to progress, his relationship with his sister, his cat, his colleagues and, especially, the new boss at work played by Eleonora Rossi Drago. Eleonora Rossi Drago has a sexy presence in a scene, showing her beautiful legs and thighs, in some black underwear. It's the best scene of the film. Something similar is done by Anna Maria Ferrero, appearing only in underwear, in several scenes. It's obvious that these appearances only in underwear of the two actresses are intended to save the film from a total catastrophic boredom. Gianni Puccini would have done very well to not have directed this film.

Italian cinema has deeply influenced world cinema through its socially conscious realism and modernist experimentation, but it also flourished in popular genres like peplum (sword & sandal), giallo thrillers, and broad comedies. Its narratives often weave together politics, contemporary social change, class consciousness, and family dynamics, balancing artistic ambition with entertainment that resonated widely.
