Crazy, Crazy Love

Ninetto De Terenzi is a Roman who lives for the day, helping a lawyer in his intrigues and acting as a stunt double for a cheating engineer; he disapproves of the relationship his widowed mother has with a married man and is engaged to a good worker, whom she tries to betray.

Directed by Carlo Veo, Crazy, Crazy Love leans on a strong ensemble — Ninetto Davoli, Franca Gonella, Maria Rosaria Riuzzi — 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 1977.
