About Ridendo e scherzando
Four comic episodes based on betrayal. The main characters are a famous professionist that receives a girl as his anniversary present, a wife tired of her boring marriage, a look-alike of a dangerous wanted person and a very jealous husband. Fantastic Italian actors as Walter Chiari and Luciano Salce act in this beautiful movie.
Directed by Vittorio Sindoni, Ridendo e scherzando leans on a strong ensemble — Gino Bramieri, Walter Chiari, Luciano Salce — 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 1978.
