Synopsis
Il commissario Lo Gatto (1986) is a Dino Risi crime comedy from Italy that you can watch online on iFILM. Commissioner Lo Gatto polices Vatican territory — until one question lands him in hot water.
Looking into a murdered priest, he calmly asks the Pope himself for an alibi. The reward for such nerve is exile to Favignana, a sleepy Sicilian island where nothing ever happens. Bored stiff, Lo Gatto picks at the disappearance of a tourist, and the trivial case knots itself into something far messier. Lino Banfi carries the whole thing with a straight face.
Risi, a veteran of Italian comedy, mines small-town dullness for one absurd turn after another. Easy vintage viewing for an undemanding evening, especially if you have a soft spot for Banfi and southern Italian flavor. Stream Il commissario Lo Gatto online on iFILM.
