Taken from Gildo Peragallo Inzegne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Regarded as one of the best written plays starring Gilberto Govi, the great Italian Genoese actor, it's one of his plays that survived on film. However, there's something else that differs it. In the version that survived, Gildo Peragallo Inzegne is the only one where Govi often looks into the camera although he never really speaks to the audience, rather to the characters around him. It's unknown whether he was told to or whether by doing that he is giving a different interpretation of his character of Gildo Peragallo, who is a lying and rhetorical man, who comes across as selfish, but in the end somewhat well meaning.
