Plot

During the reign of King Alboin, the peasant Bertoldo, sly and smart, manages to always get away with pranks and pleasantires with great mastery, and, even if his clumsy wife Marcolfa and their foolish son Bertoldino always put him in trouble, his shrewdness and acumen save him from any unfortunate situation...

Sinekatalog’s take

A crafty peasant outwits everyone through pranks, even as his family stumbles. Monicelli blends earthy medieval comedy with satirical edges. A lively pick for fans of Italian historical farce.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
