About this product

Product Information

Directed by Vittorio De Sica, AFTER THE FOX is collaboration between highly regarded American playwright Neil Simon and celebrated Italian screenwriter Cesare Zavattini on Simon's first screenplay. The film stars Peter Sellars as Aldo Vanucci, a blundering master thief. Vanucci contentedly whiles away his time in jail until he hears that his sister has become a prostitute. Vanucci escapes through a series of silly disguises, and finds his sister on the street picking up an older man. Vanucci attacks the man, only to find that his sister is in the midst of filming a dramatic "cinema verite" scene. Inspired, Vanucci disguises himself as a New Wave director named Federico Fabrizi, and begins pre-producing a "film" in which three million dollars in gold bullion will be smuggled into Italy. With the support of the criminal Okra (Akim Tamiroff), Vanucci hires aging movie star Tony Powell (Victor Mature) for the lead role, and steals the necessary film equipment from a famous Italian director, played by De Sica himself. Victor Mature's performance is outstanding as he lampoons his own big screen persona from the 1940s, while the rest of the film scathingly satires art films, hoity-toity directors, and the Italian persona.

    A somewhat obscure but hilarious movie! It's one of those that has you hugging your stomach because it hurts from laughing! Will be given to my sister-in-law for Christmas, as she needs some cheering up.

  • Top critical review

    Worth watching if you've got a glass and a bottle of Single-Malt Scotch at your elbow.

    Well, the characters were over-the-top, and Victor Mature was great as an aging actor who can't get work. Sellers is fine as a con man. And the story is sometimes great, sometimes irritating. The ending is a huge disappointment, except for the film critic in the jury box who, on seeing a totally screwed-up mishmash of a film, runs out of the room to give it a review, shouting that this is the greatest modernist movie ever produced. The movie is sometimes entertaining, sometimes a drag. It takes patience to sit through it all. Worth watching for Sellers's sly con man and Mature's conceited old actor, but only if you've got a chilled glass and a bottle of very cold and very old Single-Malt Scotch at your elbow.
