About The Man Who Wagged His Tail
The owner of a building tyrannizes his immigrant tenants. Transformed into a dog by an old woman's curse, he experiences all the hardships of his situation; when a child's affection turns him back into a man, his soul is radically changed.
Directed by Ladislao Vajda, The Man Who Wagged His Tail leans on a strong ensemble — Peter Ustinov, Pablito Calvo, Aroldo Tieri — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1957.
