In pre-World War II Sicily, while fascists come to power, two men fall in love with the same woman as political upheaval lands all three in New York.

Giancarlo Giannini shines in this satirical comedy directed by Lina Wertmüller. Mimi, a Sicilian laborer, gets caught between communism, mafia, and his own romantic entanglements. A biting critique of political hypocrisy and masculinity, the film earned Wertmüller acclaim at Cannes and cemented her status as a leading voice in 1970s European cinema.
