Totò cerca casa is a 1949 Italian comedy film directed by Mario Monicelli and Steno.^[1] The film is stylistically related to Italian neorealism, though it can be seen as a parody.

Plot

In Italy after the war the problem of every citizen is to find a comfortable place to live. Beniamino Lomacchio (Totò) is one of the many people without a home and, together with his family he's been living in classrooms. He can not live there much longer, though, because school re-opens in September. Beniamino is poor and does not know what to do, he just hopes he'll find a comfortable apartment with a landlord who doesn't ask for too much rent.

One day, however, Beniamino finds a place to move: a cemetery caretaker's house. Not all the family is convinced it's a great idea. They only ending up staying there for a short while: fleeing when they think they see a ghost. After leaving the house, Beniamino finds another job at the studio of an artist. But even here the family Lomacchio will not agree and Benjamin. They they find a large apartment. But they've been cheated: the apartment has already been rented out to another family. Eventually, even after staying in the Colosseum, Beniamino is in a car accident. He's finally found a new home: the hospital.
