Ultimo tango a Zagarol (internationally released as The Last Italian Tango and Last Tango in Zagarol) is a 1973 Italian comedy film directed by Nando Cicero. It is a parody of Last Tango in Paris, set in the town of Zagarolo, in the province of Rome.[1]
The film got a great commercial success, grossing about 950 million lire.[1]
According to the film critic Robert Firsching, " the humor is primarily of the cheap bathroom variety, as subtlety has never been director Nando Cicero's strong point, but there are some genuine laughs for the tolerant".[2]
