Synopsis

Three men are stuck in a New Orleans jail - Jack and Zack are local losers, while Roberto is an Italian tourist. The Americans put aside their differences to unite in frustration at the tourist's excitable antics - but it's Roberto (played by the hilarious Roberto Benigni) who eventually gets them out of jail and into the Louisiana countryside. This laid-back comedy is beautifully shot in black and white, and references plenty of classic films of the 30s and 40s.

What our educators say

"We are currently screening The Wizard of Oz, profound film that it is, and the last film Wall-E. It's been rewarding observing the KS1 6 year olds run the gamut of emotions from wonder to sadness to joy. "
