Un Americano A Roma
''An American in Rome'' (originally ''Un americano a Roma'') is a 1954 Italian comedy film directed by Steno. The film consists in a satire of Americanization, and it was referred as "a milestone in the evolution of Italian self-identification". It starred Alberto Sordi, with a young Ursula Andress in a minor role. Overview Sordi reprises the character of Nando Mericoni he played a few months before in an episode of comedy film ''Un giorno in pretura''. The character eventually returned in Sergio Corbucci's ''Di che segno sei?'' (1975). Due to the continuous references of ''Nando'' to Kansas City, Alberto Sordi received in 1955 its honorary citizenship.

L'uomo, La Bestia E La Virtù (film)
''L'uomo, la bestia e la virtù'' (), internationally released as ''Man, Beast and Virtue'', is a 1953 Italian comedy film directed by Steno. It starred Italian comedian Totò and famed actor Orson Welles. The film was originally shot in Gevacolor, but only black-and-white prints exist today. Sergio Leone and Lucio Fulci were both assistant directors on this film. Fulci said the film did not really do well, but it gave Fulci his first screenwriting credit, and he really enjoyed being in Orson Welles' presence. Welles was in Italy filming ''Othello'' at the time, and Fulci said Welles' entire diet consisted of oranges which he ate in massive quantities. Fulci described Totò as being a very sad figure, and said Carlo Ponti forced him to star in this film against his will as Totò had signed a contract with the producer. Although filming went past the contracted period, Ponti never paid Orson Welles a penny in overtime either. The film was based on the 1919 novel and play of the sa ...
