The company is dissolved by the lead actress and he, to reunite it, has a stroke of genius: to stage the story of Benito Mussolini and his latest lover, Claretta Petacci. The idea works, and Pistone identifies himself too much in the role of Mussolini. ## Cast[edit] * Ugo Tognazzi as Gino Pistone * Bernadette Lafont as Sandra Pensotti * Felice Andreasi as Peppino Lo Taglio * Ernesto Colli as Remengo * Franco Fabrizi as Franco De Rosa * Lia Tanzi as Ornella Fiocchi * Gigi Ballista as friend of Gino * Luigi Leoni as Carlo Maria * Germano Longo as Burino * Ettore Mattia as Falabrino * Rossana Di Lorenzo as Adriana * Quinto Parmeggiani as Chimiste * Pietro Tordi as Naples actor * Gianfranco Barra as client ## See also[edit] * List of Italian films of 1974 ## References[edit] 1. ^ Roberto Chiti; Roberto Poppi; Enrico Lancia.
