Pane, burro e marmellata

Bruno De Santis, successful TV presenter, was left by his wife Sofia. One day he decides to call her to convince her to come back but her device is broken. By a strange twist of fate, it happens in the house of three women, Vera, Simona and Betty, who, tired of their respective husbands and boyfriends, live together and manage a boutique. By them he is pitied, pampered and even hosted in their apartment. And so Bruno, little by little, becomes the sultan of the little harem.

Directed by Giorgio Capitani, Pane, burro e marmellata leans on a strong ensemble — Enrico Montesano, Claudine Auger, Szacinski Bente Bosco — 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 1977.
