Totò stars in this hilarious 1963 historical comedy directed by Sergio Corbucci. Disguised as a monk to escape persecution, a poor man finds refuge in a convent of rebellious nuns. With its irreverent humor and satirical take on religion and politics, the film showcases Totò's comedic genius and remains a classic of Italian farce. Also featuring Erminio Macario and Nino Taranto.
