Spaghetti at Midnight

1981 · 91 min

A frothy, farcical romp of mistaken schemes and inconvenient lovers piling up at one party, played for light laughs rather than suspense.

Even if also Savino has a story with Elvira, a judge's wife, he decides anyway to ask to a mobster to kill his wife. In the mean time Celeste is organizing a surprise party for Savino's birthday, and that day things start to get complicated. First Savino kills accidentally the mafia killer in charge to kill Celeste; second his lover Elvira arrives to the party with the judge... not to mention the police and the mafia Don...
