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.
