The Irony of Money

1957 · 85 min

A wry, gently moralising portmanteau that turns a found wallet into four small human comedies, amusing rather than laugh-out-loud, with a bittersweet aftertaste.

Genres
Comedy, Drama
Overview
The finding of a wallet with a lot of money is the common theme of four stories, featuring a shoeshine from Seville, a clerk from Salamanca, a bullfighter from Cuenca and a newspapers seller from Paris.
How it feels
Satirical, cynical, warm and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About
Greed, morality, class, fate
Content
