[1] Alberto Sordi is dismissed from the hotel in Milan where he works as a bailiff because, according to the director, he disturbed Vittorio De Sica and arrived several times late.

He makes his theater debut with Aldo Fabrizi and begins to work in variety and for radio whilst also being noticed by De Sica in his first absolute protagonist film, Mamma mia, che impressione!

He romances for the beautiful Jole, tailor at Cinecittà, and also has a relationship with Andreina Pagnani, fifteen years older.

The film was distributed as a special event in Italian cinemas on 24, 25 and 26 February 2020 only and was broadcast in prime time on Rai Uno on 24 March 2020.

His deep religiosity is completely absent: he was a devout Catholic, in his room he had a prie-dieu where he prayed every day, in the garden he had a statue of the Virgin.
