Bad enough that sleazy civil service aspirant Aldo Puglisi adamantly refuses marriage to delectably protectable Stefania Sandrelli; worse is his reason: shes not the virgin bride he has a right to. Only trouble is, hes the one who seduced her while he was engaged to her somnolent sister! Oh well, marriage will make that rape charge go away but what if she doesnt...? Kidnapping in broad daylight, a sweaty-palmed attempted murder of an altar boy, and interrupting gap-toothed aristocrat Leopoldo Triestes latest suicide attempt are just a few of the crazy highlights of Germis comic classic. Germi regular Saro Urz as Sandrellis dad frenzied his way to a Cannes Best Actor Award as he left no stone unturned (including his own tombstone) to preserve that darn family honor. - Film Forum
