Fair Film (Italy)
Directed by Dino Risi
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)
Carefree, middle-aged playboy Vittorio Gassman picks up meek law student Jean-Louis Trintignant and takes him on a 2-day road trip around Italy. They stop at various bars and restaurants, meet several women, speed on local highways in his sports car and have a grand time bothering normal folks with their antics. They stop by some relatives of Trintignant and we learn a little about his past, then later they visit Gassman's ex-wife and daughter, the lovely Catherine Spaak, who Tringtignant falls in love with Lolita-style. You will see the tragic ending coming a mile away in this rather predictable road movie.
