About Macario Against Zagomar
In Paris, the dreaded Zagomar kidnapped the daughter of a scientist to force him to deliver his latest discovery: a machine that "blocks" over time. Macario, the assistant teacher, decides to confront this elusive bandit that lurks in the bowels of the city.
Directed by Giorgio Ferroni, Macario Against Zagomar leans on a strong ensemble — Erminio Macario, Nino Crisman, Gero Zambuto — 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 1944.
