About A Monster and a Half
A thief steals a suitcase but it contains a corpse and the thief is sentenced, but is released by the robbed doctor, who then subjects him to a facial plastic that makes him equal to a criminal.
Directed by Steno, A Monster and a Half leans on a strong ensemble — Ciccio Ingrassia, Franco Franchi, Margaret Lee — 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 1964.
