Moglie E Buoi... (1957)

Synopsis of Moglie E Buoi...

This minor Italian comedy was released in the U.S. as Wives and Obscurities. Gino Cervi and Walter Chiari star as an American immigrant and his son who return to Cervi's Italian hometown after 35 years. While the girls in town are fascinated by Chiari's sophisticated veneer, the local males resent his Yankee behavior and target him for persecution and humiliation. Ultimately, Chiari is forced to stand up to his Italian tormentors and prove he's as good as any of them without hiding behind his fancy American convertible and flashy clothes. Some of the film's provincial humor is blunted by the English-language dubbing. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
