Introduction
Written in 1747 by the master of Italian comedy, this piece of slapstick foolery hasn't lost an ounce of freshness. Twins Zanetto and Tonino, separated at birth (played by one actor), turn up in Verona, one for an arranged marriage and the other to meet a girl who has run away from her family for him. They are mistaken for each other and the resulting chaos includes duels, betrayals, spats, arrests, a casket of stolen jewels and a death from poisoned wine. Fast, furious and set in the 1960s to a jazz soundtrack, this is everything a stylish and slick comedy should be.
