Little Girls and High Finance
Titanus: A Family Chronicle of Italian Cinema
May 22 - 31, 2015
In this screwball comedy loosely based on a true story, a whistleblower gets revenge on the bank that fired him by ruthlessly playing the stock market. Co-starring Anita Ekberg!
Robotti (Renato Rascel), a law-abiding bank employee, discovers that someone has been embezzling money at his branch, but when he brings this to the attention of his superior, he’s offered a million dollars in cash to ignore it. Robotti rejects the offer and is promptly given a pink slip. But after meeting Jane (the stunning Anita Ekberg), he abandons his moral code and starts playing the stock market. At the peak of his success, he gains a majority share of the bank that fired him. Loosely based on a true story, this screwball comedy is underpinned by Rascel’s earnest performance.
