He never appreciated the imperative need for legal sanction of a Negro's right to sit at a bar, get a haircut, swim in a pool.

During a frenetic weekend, Tognazzi nearly drowns when he goes for a swim after eating raw peppers. He competes in a humiliating Mr. Universe contest against hoods half his age, all to win favor with Spaak-a French actress so dear to Italian hearts that she appears to go from film to film with scarcely enough time to put on her clothes...
