The ultimate Italian road comedy, Il sorpasso stars the unlikely pair of Vittorio Gassman and Jean-Louis Trintignant as, respectively, a waggish, free-wheeling bachelor and the bookish law student he takes on a madcap trip from Rome to rural Southern Italy. A holy grail of commedia all'italiana, this film is so fresh and exciting that one can easily see why it has long been adored in Italy.
