The Scientific Cardplayer

An overlong, at times loud in a typically Italian fashion, at times unexpectedly bitter comedy that could at least boast the dubbing of Miloš Kopecký, if the dubbing didn't have such a poor sound and if there was something else to hear besides the voices. Rather than the jokes, however, what I’ll remember from it is the slightly bizarre, but from life in Italy at that time probably fairly well-known scenes with children employed in a funeral home, especially with a little boy shaving the deceased.
