About Million Dollar Eel
An heiress (Piccolo) fakes her own kidnapping in order to get money from her parents and hides in the river Po's delta among eel fisherman and is helped by a small time smuggler (Toffolo).
Directed by Salvatore Samperi, Million Dollar Eel leans on a strong ensemble — Ottavia Piccolo, Lino Toffolo, Rodolfo Baldini — 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.
