Big Deal on Madonna Street
Big Deal on Madonna Street( also released as Persons Unknown in the UK) is a 1958 Italian comedy caper film directed by Mario Monicelli, and considered to be among the masterpieces of Italian cinema.
Its original title translates as" the usual unknown persons", a journalistic and bureaucratic euphemism for" unidentified criminals".
The film is a comedy about a group of small- time thieves and ne'er- do- wells who bungle an attempt to burgle a pawn shop in Rome.
The five hapless would- be burglars are played by Vittorio Gassman, Renato Salvatori, Carlo Pisacane, Tiberio Murgia and Marcello Mastroianni.
The careers of both Gassman and Mastroianni were considerably helped by the success of the film, Gassman in particular, since before then he was not deemed suitable for comedic roles.
Claudia Cardinale featured in a minor role( a chaste, black- clad Sicilian girl, almost held prisoner at home by her overbearing brother, played by Murgia); she would later rise to fame for other work.
The film is also notable for its breezy jazz score by composer Piero Umiliani, who helped develop the style of the jazz soundtracks now considered characteristic of European films in the 1960s and 1970s.
The producers were initially skeptical about the film's success, and to boost audience interest highlighted the appearance of the famous comedian
Totò in the original poster even though his character chooses to remain a consultant to the heist gang rather than joining it outright.
The film is distributed in Region 1 by The Criterion Collection and for the Italian market in Region 2 by 20th Century Fox.
