In this comedy, Saverio (Carlo Verdone) and his brother-in-law Filippo (Sergio Castellitto) both work at a travel agency which is wholly owned by their wives. In effect, they are their wive's employees. In the course of doing his job, Saverio discovers that his brother-in-law is setting up a woman in an apartment using company money. If this is what he thinks it is, Filippo is going to be in trouble. He goes over to meet Alice (
Ornella Muti), the lady in question, and instead of sustaining a sense of outrage, he is bowled over by her charm, her beauty, and the poignancy of her story. Before long, both brothers are condoning what they imagine to be an affair the other one is having with the cagey Alice -- when in fact, she is fancy-free. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
