Film: I SOLITI IGNOTI

Mario Monicelli's movie (in English known as BIG DEAL ON MADONNA STREET) is classic commedia all'italiana, with three exceptional actors Vittorio Gassman, Marcello Mastroianni and Toto' leading the exquisite parody of the Hollywood gangster genre. Another crime caper situation comedy that pokes fun at the amateur incompetence of small-time crooks whose criminality doesn't go quite far enough to be rewarded with success, and whose italianita' causes them in defeat to find solace in a bowl of pasta e ceci.
