I saw this film twice on my first trip to Italy (my first European trip, so it already was magical) and loved it, which was high praise, since I'd only been studying Italian for a few months, on my own. As I remember, it's the story of a man in an old actors home who wins a lottery, and runs away with a pretty worker from the home. He is taken advantage of, I remember, but exactly how...? I have looked for this film on video, and I think United Artists may offer it, but perhaps only in Europe. I would love to see it again...Ugo Tognazzi was a wonderful actor, and expressed many things simultaneously, as he did in La Cage Aux Folles. Lucky you if you can see the movie. I was in love with my Primo [Italian] Amore at the time, so perhaps memory has sweetened recollection. But I think it was lots of fun to watch.
　　I found this film one of the saddest ones which I've ever seen. Dino Risi is a brilliant director and made a great film which shows the aging. Ugo Tognazzi plays the actor who feels too young to be in an "old actor's house". He just can't stand the rules and the other old people so he escape with a young girl. The sad part comes from here because the girl wants her freedom, doesn't love the man and cheats him with other guys. In fact she never told the man that she loved him.

马塞洛（马塞洛·马斯楚安尼 Marcello Mastroianni 饰）、菲利普（菲利浦·诺瓦雷 Philippe Noiret 饰）、雨果（乌戈·托格内吉 Ugo Tognazzi 饰）和米歇尔（米歇尔·皮寇利 Michel Piccoli 饰）是四个事业有成但心灵空虚的中年男人，面对再无可恋的世界，四人决定以一种极其夸张的方式在极致的快感中迎来他们的死亡。
　　四人驱车来到了一幢地处偏远的别墅中，这里就是他们的死地，紧接着，一场十分荒唐却又极尽奢华的狂欢盛宴开始了，四人彻底抛弃了作为人的属性，任凭兽性肆虐。为了给这场死亡之宴增加亮点，他们邀请了三个妓女和一个小学女教师加入他们的行列。很快，对屋子里的一切忍无可忍的妓女们离开了，但小学女教师的兴致似乎比这四个疯狂的男人还有过之而无不及。
