You probably know a guy like Slivio (Alberto Sordi)—smart but not wise, principled but self-serving, stubborn for good and ill. As a couple of decades of Italian postwar turmoil roil around him in Dino Risi’s wry socio-political comedy, Silvio stays on the right side of history and on the wrong side of just about everybody else, including Elena (Lea Massari), his long-suffering love. A complex, criminally underseen gem. -LG
