The title of this Italian film translates as Fireworks, and indeed what happens in the course of the story is quite explosive at times. Amedeo Nazzari stars as a handsome young count who, after several years in New York, returns to Italy with nary a lire to his name. The villagers in his home town believe that the Count is still wealthy, thus they extend him unlimited credit upon his return. Mario Porelli co-stars as the Count's secretary, who takes advantage of the villagers' generosity to make a fortune in the stock market, thereby replenishing our hero's family coffers. The Count is also able to avoid a marriage to a rich but homely heiress and find happiness with his true love. The film was based on a popular stage farce by Luigi Charelli. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
