The Marquis of Grillo
Directed by Mario Monicelli
Produced by Gaumont, Opera Film Produzione
A lighthearted picaresque comedy built on the mischievous escapades of an aristocratic prankster navigating 18th-century Rome with irreverent charm.
In 18th-century Rome, impish aristocrat Onofrio del Grillo amuses himself by playing pranks on all sorts of people — his reactionary family and fellow nobles, the poors, the French occupiers trying to modernize society, and even the Pope himself.
