About I due assi del guantone
Two waiters who work in a restaurant, whose owner is a big boxing fan, pretend one of them is a boxer and the other his manager. The supposed boxer wins his first matches thanks to set ups organized by the other but when he beats a champion from another part of town, he is severely beaten up by his supporters.
Directed by Mariano Laurenti, I due assi del guantone leans on a strong ensemble — Franco Franchi, Ciccio Ingrassia, Mario Carotenuto — 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 1971.
