However, the day after, he is alone in front of the customer's house. Tired of waiting he goes by himself to the meeting and makes friends with the man, a forty-year-old playboy.
While the man is telling him about his stories, Carabineers arrive and take the man. The salesman remains alone at the customer's house and adopts the customer's identity when the colleague arrives…
CRITICAL NOTE
“ Good rhythm, served according to the fun vocal and facial expressions Verdone shows in domestic dimensions whether he is an accountant or he twists invigorated by Giorgi's pure charm. Moreover, Borotalco has been successful in the selection of side characters”. (Giovanni Grazzini - Cinema '82)
