Synopsis
Fracchia the Human Beast (Fracchia la belva umana, 1981) is an Italian comedy from Neri Parenti you can watch online on iFILM. Mild, rule-following office clerk Fracchia happens to be the spitting image of the most wanted criminal on earth.
Police everywhere keep mixing the two up, so the poor clerk gets grabbed on nearly every street corner until the authorities finally hand him a stamped document proving he's just Fracchia, not the killer. Then his brutal double takes the pass from him by force. Now nobody can tell who is who, and the confusion spins out into pure absurdity. Paolo Villaggio plays both men, with Lino Banfi and Gigi Reder in the mix.
Parenti and Villaggio are the same pair behind Italy's Fantozzi films, and here they run a broad farce of chases and disguises. Good for fans of classic Italian comedy where the little guy lands in enormous trouble. Stream Fracchia the Human Beast (1981) online on iFILM.
