      Audience Member Magnani, Totò and Monicelli could be great, this time they were just good Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This classic Italian film from 1960 really holds up. One joke during the fountain scene had me laughing out loud. Catch this film if you can find it.

      Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times Screenwriter D'Amico called Monicelli "a superb director, with the rare gift of comic timing - which cannot be taught, either you have it or you don't." No one seeing "The Passionate Thief" will care to argue the point. Apr 9, 2015 Full Review Manohla Dargis New York Times There isn't much of a story in "The Passionate Thief," though much - including shimmering life, lust and comedy - happens. Dec 4, 2014 Full Review Zachary Wigon Village Voice While the madcap adventures provide plenty of entertainment, it's Monicelli's sympathetic portrait of complex individuals ... that wins viewers over. Dec 2, 2014 Full Review Peter Sobczynski eFilmCritic.com It is still drolly amusing without ever becoming too frantic for its own good and film buffs may get a kick out of seeing Magnani in a role that is somewhat lighter than the heavy dramatic fare that she was famous for.
