action

Stanley Thrumm, a polite, decent, nice, blond young man is a tour guide and looks after his sister, who has been abandoned by her husband with two children. On a tour of Europe, he accidentally wins a heap of money in an Italian casino (only by chance and in Samaritan service). Carla Moretti, an extremely attractive lady, is waiting for him in front of the exit and begins to ensnare him. Most unfamiliar to such attacks, she hurriedly hurriedly online. Overwhelmed by happiness, he does not notice that the lady is only after his lire. Carla's ex-husband introduces himself as a businessman and on the side persuades Stanley to invest the twenty million lire in a lucrative business. But Stanley isn't stupid either; Having become suspicious, he demands the money back. He learns of Carla's conspiracy, but takes it with some composure, because the great happiness in his quiet life was worth the money to him. Such an attitude must of course be rewarded; Carla ruefully returns the lire and he forgives her. She transforms so much nobility; it becomes respectable pretty quickly, and the two of them can stay together.

criticism

The lexicon of international films succinctly notes that the work is a weak rogue comedy from Hollywood. The Protestant film observer came to a similar assessment: "Partly boredom in a neat style, partly harmless entertainment."
