About Totòtruffa '62
Antonio, a former variety actor, keeps his daughter in an excellent boarding school by organizing small scams with his friend and colleague Felice. Commissioner Malvasia good-naturedly persecuted him. When their respective unsuspecting children fall in love, the two fathers make peace.
Directed by Camillo Mastrocinque, Totòtruffa '62 leans on a strong ensemble — Totò, Nino Taranto, Lia Zoppelli — 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 1961.
