It’s 1962 and a middle aged, British holidaymaker flies to Italy having mastered a single phrase: “COSA RACOMMANDA LEI”.
It’s a simple story idea and you can’t help but watch it unfold with a sense of comic dread. The main character, voiced by the incomparable Victor Spinetti, has a marvellous time, oblivious to the trail of mishaps, crimes and chaos he leaves in his wake. He reminds me of Alan Wicker for some reason. Though Wicker doesn’t have quite such a pointy head or sport a tiny, tiny hat. I digress.
The inventive production design makes this surprisingly stylish. And the music gives it an appropriately retro vibe. It’s witty, fun and has a monkey wearing a fez. RACCOMANDATO!
