Il magnate (The Tycoon) is a 1973 Italian comedy film written and directed by Giovanni Grimaldi.

[1][2] Furio Cicerone, a large Sicilian entrepreneur who came from the ranks, finds himself hindered by a loan from a bank due to an indispensable assessment.

The large sum requested by him is available only after five days from the assessment, while he needs it immediately to prevent his employment contract from being canceled; then he turns to an acquaintance, Gianni, who however places conditions on him to help him.

Furio, having his hands tied, reluctantly accepts; Clara, feeling overshadowed, decides to play along with the two men.

Clara, seeing Furio begging Gianni to stop with these absurdities, realizes that her husband is willing to go broke rather than have a cheating wife.
