Hearing all the different dialects people used to speak at the time is really interesting. Much like he did In Armata Brancaleone, Monicelli tried to stay true as much as possible to the language spoken in the period the movie is set. Italy wasn't so united and Italian was a recent language, most of the population could speak it. It's great to see that represented so accurately. Sordi and Gassman interpret the most classical Italian. The prototype of the person who tries to sneak off rather than to go in first line. It's a great comedy on our people with two immaculate performances
