Totò Double or Nothing?

Totò Double or Nothing? (1956) is an Italian comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Camillo Mastrocinque. It was built as a showcase for Totò, the postwar comedian whose elastic face and gift for wordplay made him a permanent fixture of Italian cinema.

A penniless duke signs up for "Lascia o raddoppia" — Italy's hit TV quiz show — looking to win five million lira and rescue himself from debt. Two gangsters immediately start betting on his chances, and before the final round can air, he gets kidnapped. Fast, slight, and genuinely funny if you meet Totò on his own terms.
