Plot
A young bank teller, literally allergic to paper money, becomes the worst nightmare of his best customer, a wealthy butcher who manages his business unscrupulously.
Sinekatalog’s take
Elio Petri's satire, with Flavio Bucci and Ugo Tognazzi, is angry, absurd and politically sharp, a cult Italian comedy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
