Tonight, 6 January 2024, the day of the Epiphany, at 9.20 pm on Rete 4, Il marchese del Grillo, a 1981 film directed by Mario Monicelli and starring Alberto Sordi, will be broadcast. But let's see all the information together in detail: the plot, the cast and where to stream the film.
Plot
In papal Rome in 1809, the Marquis Onofrio del Grillo, a Roman nobleman at the court of Pope Pius VII, spent his days in complete idleness, frequenting taverns and taverns, cultivating clandestine love affairs with commoners and maintaining a rebellious attitude in the eyes of his mother and conservative, bigoted and authoritarian relatives.
His main pastime, which makes him famous throughout the city, consists of countless pranks and pranks of which his aristocratic family, made up of extravagant characters closed to the outside world, is often the victim. The rich noble landowner is always able to humorously and daringly get out of the many unthinkable situations throughout the play, shamelessly exploiting even the knowledge of the often complacent upper class (an example of this is the court scene with the condemnation to the pillory of the Jewish cabinetmaker Aronne Piperno).
A chance meeting with a poor alcoholic coal burner, Gasperino, his perfect double, inspires the nobleman to complete his burlesque repertoire. In various situations he ends up involving the Pontiff in the name of justice and renewal which are always invoked but which never seriously manage to worry the audacious and brilliant “Sor Marchese”: in the end, in fact, after a fake sentence to the guillotine inflicted on him by Pius VII, was pardoned by the latter, who allowed him to resume his place among the papal Sediaries.
