About this product

Product Information

Dante is one of life's loser where nothing ever goes right - particularly in love. One day he meets Maria who seems to fall for him straight away. Nothing, however, is ever that simple and he finds himself, as a part of the deal with Maria, in Sicily where her husband is an infamous gangster. Dante bears an uncanny resemblance to her husband and a lot of people, including Maria, want him dead - so why not bump off Dante instead?... Italian dialogue with subtitles.

Additional InformationThe Marx Brothers meet THE GODFATHER when the bumbling Dante (Roberto Benigni) discovers that there's nothing organized about organized crime in this hilarious tale of mistaken identity. A naive schoolbus driver, Dante finally meets the passionate woman of his dreams; unfortunately, she only wants him for his body--his dead body. Dante doesn't realize he looks just like mobster Johnny Stecchino and that femme fatale Maria (Nicoletta Braschi) is setting him up to be the victim of a hit so that she and husband Johnny can escape the crime world. The dim-witted innocent doesn't catch on fast; every time a round of gunfire goes off, Dante thinks he's being hunted for shoplifting a banana. JOHNNY STECCHINO reveals why Benigni has become Italy's most popular film comedian. Like Buster Keaton in 1934's LE ROI DE CHAMPS-ELYSEE or Charlie Chaplin in 1921's THE IDLE CLASS, Benigni hams it up playing two roles, seamlessly slipping back and forth between hapless Dante and the murderous Johnny Stecchino.
ReviewsNew York Times - ...Fun, energetic and easy to take..., Los Angeles Times - ...Benigni is unique....As a director, his style is big, clean, lucid. All the characters are snazzily exaggerated...

    I have bought other movies from Roberto Benigni, but this one isn't as funny as I was expecting , with the exception of few clips.
