"A group of thieves tries to break into a bank vault. The sequel to one of the most loved and most influential Italian comedies of all time, Big Deal on Madonna Street, retains most of the charm of the predecessor but fails to recapture the feeling of being a complete work with a perfect screenplay. Nevertheless, the story is still engaging and the gags entertaining. Manredi replaces well Mastroianni in a cast of a-list Italian stars, and the film’s humour is biting, satirical and even intelligent."

Comedy, Italy/France
