Funniest Show on Earth (Italian: Il più comico spettacolo del mondo) is a 1953 Italian comedy film directed by Mario Mattoli and starring May Britt. It is the first Italian film in 3D.
Contents
It was filmed with a three-dimensional shooting system patented by Carlo Ponti and Dino De Laurentiis and called "PoDelVision" (from the initials of their surnames), which prescribed the simultaneous use of more cameras and then the printing of two identical copies of films: one for the left eye and one for the right eye.
The film is an explicit parody of Cecil B. DeMille's The Greatest Show on Earth.
Plot
In the circus a clown named Tottons Togni (Totò), obliged not to make-up off never to not reveal his identity, is constantly haunted by jealousy of three women (a lion tamer, a fantasist, a trapeze artist) and also by the investigation of a police officer. The plot is a clear pretext for a series of numbers taken from magazines Toto (such as the gay hairdresser and masseuse).
