At their best, Monicelli’s movies focused on ordinary people who live down-and-dirty, trying but inevitably failing to rise above their circumstances, clueless creators of comic no-win situations. Mining the heretofore untapped comic gifts of performers like Vittorio Gassman and Marcello Mastroianni, while drawing on the reliable hilarity of Totò, Ugo Tognazzi, Alberto Sordi, et al., Monicelli produced cheap, exuberant human comedies out of the often farcical plight of the common man.

			The Organizer (I compagni) Mario Monicelli, 1963, Italy/France/Yugoslavia, 35mm; 130m Monicelli and the legendary screenwriting team of Age & Scarpelli shared an Oscar nomination for this serious treatment of labor troubles and the rise of socialism in turn-of-the-century Turin. A down-at-heels aristocrat and academic (Marcello Mastroianni, in one of his greatest performances) tries to unionize factory workers into striking to win better pay and working conditions. As usual, Monicelli punches up his serious social commentary with humanizing though black humor. The stunning cinematography of Giuseppe Rotunno—seen here in a beautiful 35mm print struck for our 2006 Janus Films retrospective—evokes the period in picturesque detail, recalling the look of old daguerreotypes.

			The Passionate Thief Risate di gioia Mario Monicelli, Italy, 1960; 105m New Year’s Eve is coming, and movie bit-player Gioia (a remarkably touching Anna Magnani) is looking for reasons to celebrate. Convinced that she’s just about to get the “right” part, or be invited to the “right” party, she thinks she might have found the answer when she bumps into the handsome young Lello (Ben Gazzara), but he’s actually more interested in relieving other people of their jewelry and other such valuables. Presiding over the festivities is Infortunio (the legendary comic Totò), who weaves in and out of the plot while trying to help himself to some of Lello’s ill-gotten gains. Reportedly one of Suso’s favorites among her many films.		Buy Tickets Wed Dec 15: 8:40
