" You're a family man. You're used to chugging around in a variety of wagons. Your automotive lot is transporting the nippers around betwitxt football training, school and ballet classes. You fantasise every now and then about the joys of irresponsibility "

Il Sorpasso
The Italians know how to do a stupid comedy.
And somehow they make it more stylish than any Carry On Roadtrip. The car, after all, is a Lancia B24 Aurelia spider- so it was bound to surpass the Ford Zodiacs and stolid Ravers that populated the fnaar-factor that was the carry On Franchise.
And with typical European broodiness, this comedy reveals the essential vacuousness of adolescent irresponsibility –
even if it does make you ache to cruise the mountain roads of Italy in an expensive shirt.
