Ugo Tognazzi brought robust, warmly comic presence to Italian film, and his versatility carried him from broad farce to internationally celebrated arthouse acclaim. La Cage aux Folles has a nightclub owner and his partner posing as a conventional couple, La Grande Bouffe gathers four friends to eat themselves to death, Amici Miei pulls mischievous pranks among ageing Florentine friends, and The Terrace confronts Roman intellectuals with disillusionment. I Mostri and Il Federale round out the list.
