Io e Caterina (internationally released as Catherine and I) is a 1980 Italian comedy film directed by Alberto Sordi.

[1] For his performance, Alberto Sordi was awarded with a Globo d'oro for best actor.

In fact he has been interested in a friend's robot waiter, and so Enrico decides to buy one for himself.

The robot is called Catherine (Caterina) and serves Enrico to perfection for some time until she starts behaving strangely when Enrico brings other women to his apartment.

It appears clear at the end that Caterina was in fact developing human feeling and that made the relationship with her master very complicated.
