Totò e Peppino divisi a Berlino

"Totò e Peppino divisi a Berlino" (1962) is an Italian comedy you can watch online on iFILM, starring the beloved comic duo Totò and Peppino De Filippo in a Cold War farce. Antonio's dead aunt appears to him in a dream with specific instructions: go to West Berlin and find a cloth merchant named Giuseppe. He will help. Antonio goes. This is already a bad plan.

In Berlin, Antonio discovers he is the spitting image of Admiral Canarinis, a wanted war criminal. Criminal associates offer him twenty million marks to impersonate the admiral at a military tribunal. He accepts. The tribunal sentences him to death — because Giuseppe, the very man the aunt recommended, takes the stand and identifies Antonio as the real Canarinis. They flee to East Berlin. The Soviets are waiting. Totò's gift for playing the man flattened by forces too large and too absurd to fight is what makes this work; the joke never gets old.
