This is a wonderfully boisterous slapstick which, fairly typically for the Italian variety is very rough house, but still manages to excel the usual standards of the genre by a nicely modulated pace of excess: it starts out with a rather small man coming to visit a rather large woman -- played in drag by a large man -- who moves pianos rather than walking around them, and gradually ups the ante, first with a large fan which she can wave with sufficient force to blow down crowds and then a very large hat.
