La mortadella

La storia

Maddalena Ciarrapico, operaia napoletana in un salumificio, sbarca a New York per raggiungere il fidanzato Michele, proprietario di un ristorante. Non le permettono di uscire dall'aeroporto perché ha con sé una mortadella: dopo l'epidemia di febbre suina del 1967, una legge USA proibisce l'importazione di insaccati. I doganieri risolvono il caso mangiandola. Delusa da Michele, in Italia di sinistra, qui preoccupato solo di guadagnare, si affida a un giornalista locale, autore di uno scoop sul suo caso. La delude anche lui. Rimane sola nella metropoli. Scritta da S. Cecchi D'Amico, Monicelli, R. Lardner Jr., è una commedia con pretese di critica sociologica sugli USA visti dagli italiani. Un po' stracca, ricca di stereotipi, in funzione di una star calante.
