A funny 1960 comedy with Italian "superstar" Alberto Sordi, Il Vigile tells the story of Otello Celletti, a former army guy who's been unemployed for years now, expecting the right job, that of traffic cop, to be simply offered to him because of his service to the State.In the meantime, he just seats around while his wife, young son, and brother-in-law have to work to support the family.
When he finally gets the long-sought assignment, thanks to his son, it becomes very clear that the guy is just plain delusional.
The movie is very simple both in its conception and in the presentation, but is funny to watch and the casting is excellent, especially Sordi, Marisa Merlini (his wife) and Vittorio De Sica (the Mayor).
Grade: 7.5/10
