About Il maschio ruspante
Romulus, a rough but genuine country man, finds, on the occasion of a religious festival, a girl, Rema, already his kindergarten companion. In love with her since then, he welcomes with joy the invitation to follow her to Rome, convinced that the young woman wants to marry him.
Directed by Antonio Racioppi, Il maschio ruspante leans on a strong ensemble — Giuliano Gemma, Barbara Bach, Francesca Romana Coluzzi — 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 1973.
