The heir Federico Roviano has to make a substantial profit to balance his financial situation and wants to sell the building; in order to avert the threatening demolition, the ghosts want to have the building declared a national monument; With their help, a fresco becomes an invaluable work of art. Federico accepts his fate and moves into the house with the ghosts.

criticism

“The plot is nothing,” wrote Heinz Stempel in a film review , “the staging is everything. Reality is only a ramp for the faunal game of ghosts. ”, Whereas the lexicon of the international film limits:“ The amusing idea is lost in superficiality. ”The Italian critic L. Pestelli said in La Stampa :“ Pietrangeli has a pleasant film shot, an appealing drama, even if it is sometimes a bit delayed and intrusive in the interplay of fairy tales and satire. ”He particularly praised the film's photography.

Remarks

Parts of the film music were reused by Lina Wertmüller in her film d'amore e d'anarchia .

Songs in the film are Coriandoli , the Mastroianni hums, and Restiamo so , sung by Sandra Milo.
