About La Pica sul Pacifico
Adelaide takes possession of an island in the Pacific inherited from her deceased husband. She is opposed by the chieftain and a convict. To get the island's citizenship she tries to marry the convict, but he prefers to turn himself in.
Directed by Roberto Bianchi Montero, La Pica sul Pacifico leans on a strong ensemble — Tina Pica, Memmo Carotenuto, Elke Sommer — 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 1959.
