Der Grummbär (Original title: Il burbero ) is an Italian comedy film from 1987 with Adriano Celentano .
action
Italian lawyer Tito Torrisi involuntarily meets the waitress Mary Cimino at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport . She urgently wants to go to Florence to see her newlywed husband Giulio, who claims to have come too much money . Since Tito has a second free flight ticket in addition to his, she storms him to sell it to her; he finally deigns to do so, sullenly.
In Florence, Tito and Mary accidentally mix up their suitcases, which look alike. Mary is attacked shortly afterwards in her husband's hotel room. Her suitcase is broken into, but it only contains papers from Tito. In return, at a conference, Tito's suitcase only contains Mary's clothes. Thereupon Tito makes his way to Mary, looks for his important documents and frees the tied Mary. However, he does not buy the story of the attack from her.
He takes Mary to the Ponte Vecchio , where she wants to meet her husband Giulio. He also appears, but pretends not to know her and flees because he realizes that gangsters are following him - the same ones who attacked Mary. Cornered, he takes his own life with a pill. Mary, looking for her husband, asks Tito for help. After Giulio's death has become official, Tito wants to send her back to New York on the next flight. On the way to the airport, however, Mary is attacked again by the gangsters, where it turns out that they are looking for the booty of a bank robbery carried out together with Giulio. Tito comes to Mary's aid, and a race develops with the criminals for fortune, which leads the two groups to Pisa and Siena for the world-famous Palio .
Mary has long since fallen in love with Tito, who, however, is extremely cool and repellent. At the end of the puzzle hunt, Giulio suddenly reappears. He had only faked his death and used Mary to take out his accomplices. He had laid out the booty he was looking for in a valuable painting, painted it over with a “treasure map” and had it sent to the unsuspecting Mary. Giulio flees with the picture on the train to Monaco, but Tito follows him and uses a trick to turn him off for good. Ultimately, Tito not only explains to Mary that he loves her too, but also that he planned the story from the very beginning, beginning with the supposedly coincidental meeting at New York Airport: an insurance company gave him the order to deal with the disappeared To enlighten the painting.
Others
The final conclusion from Giulio's treasure map is not reproduced correctly in the synchronization. The reason for getting from the note 6x6 to the Perseus statues is in the original Italian version. 6 times 6 means in Italian “be per be” also pronounced “be persei”, i.e. six Perseus (es).
criticism
"Over-the-top, only limited amusing Adriano Celentano comedy, staged in the style of a garish comic strip from a more than modest script."
Publications
The film was released as part of a series of Celentano films by Carol Media with an exclusively German soundtrack on DVD. In addition, it is available with German and Italian sound under the title Der Unausstehliche as part of a Celentano DVD box from MIG Filmgroup, according to the provider "anamorphically scanned from the negative for the first time".
