Description: In this physical/situation comedy the stock character types of the servant, buffoon, young lover, meddling father, & pompous peasant are all maintained in their traditional costume (as is done in the Comedia dellArte) but their masks have been eliminated.  The plot's basic theme being that of "mistaken identity" takes on an aura of gaiety so that the viewer is advised to forget reality and surrender to the comic spirit of the play.
Notes: VHS format.

A shortened version of the play first performed in Venice in 1748.

Series host: Jose Ferrer.
