About Il furto è l'anima del commercio!?...
Libero Sbardelloni, newly married, cannot find work in Rome, so he moves to Naples, where Baron Gaetano Gargiulo, his wife Marcella's uncle, lives. The baron, however, is a penniless nobleman who lives by swindling and petty theft, constantly going in and out of prison.
Directed by Bruno Corbucci, Il furto è l'anima del commercio!?... leans on a strong ensemble — Alighiero Noschese, Enrico Montesano, Pia Giancaro — 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.
