zu den Ticketszu dem KalenderA couple of petty criminals dream of landing their first big coup. They plan to empty a pawnbroker’s safe through the thin wall of the neighboring apartment. In the process, everything that could possible go wrong does so... I SOLITI IGNOTI is seen as the first film of the commedia all’italiana and links the comic-like stereotypical characters to a neorealist emphasis on the locations in the poor districts on the outskirts of Rome. The ensemble brings together the stars of the genre, Marcello Mastroianni and Vittorio Gassman, with comedian Totò as well as Claudia Cardinale in one of her first roles. (hjf)
