Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

"Soliti ignoti" refers to a typically Italian bureaucratic expression. Police forces (Polizia and Carabinieri) use it whenever reporting crimes committed by "unknown" perpetrators, hence the ignoti; since most of the crimes in Italy (like elsewhere probably) remain unsolved, hence the fortifier "soliti" for "usual". The terminology used in the title is willfully utilized as an ironic pointer as to the contents of the movies itself and its bittersweet comedy. The characters are a bunch o losers who are not even capable of demolishing the right wall at the local, state run. pawn shop (Monte di Pieta'). However, in postwar Italy even a modest plate of pasta e ceci will do, after all else fails. It is simply a comedy masterpice with some of the greatest actors, yes even the minor ones (the unforgettable Capannelle with his Bolognese accent - dubbed by a Neapolitan of all people!), Ferry Botte - the typical Sicilian possessive male, Renato Salvadori, have I forgotten anybody? Toto', Mastroianni, Gassmann, Cardinale.... Great movie making. Unfortunately, as it has often been the case, foreign relase has been marred by poor translation and dubbing, starting from the title itself, which does not do justice at all to the spirit of the movie.
