Synopsis
Totò diabolicus (1962) is an Italian crime comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Marquis Galeazzo di Torre Alta turns up dead at his desk, a single name left behind — Diabolicus. He died before signing the will.
With the fortune passing to his relatives, a masked killer starts picking the heirs off one at a time. The clan is a gallery of suspects: a senile general keeping a private shrine to Mussolini's era, a stiff surgeon, a sweet-as-pie baroness, and the saintly Monsignor Antonino, who keeps surviving. The police get nowhere — until the inheritance lands on an illegitimate son locked in a prison cell, which makes him the one man who couldn't have done it.
Directed by Steno, the film hands five separate roles to the legendary Totò, who plays half the suspects and half the corpses himself. It's a brisk send-up of the Diabolik comics craze of the day, and it lives or dies on Totò's mugging — luckily, that's plenty. Stream Totò diabolicus (1962) online on iFILM.
