In a theatre in Rome Aldo Fabrizi entertains an audience with a series of antiEnglish anecdotes and jokes based on an unpleasant experience with two British tourists when he was a poor cabman This small propaganda film by Cines is part of a triptych commissioned by the Fascist government on the eve of its declaration of war with England and was never distributed It is an extraordinary document because it was Fabrizis first screen appearance although 1942 is the year associated with his debut in Avanti ce posto by Mario Bonnard also produced by Giuseppe Amato for Cines and was a precursor of his unforgettable cabman role three years later in Lultima carrozzella The Last Wagon by Mario Mattoli which Fabrizi himself wrote with Federico Fellini
