Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Il marito (lit. transl. The Husband) is a 1958 Italian-Spanish comedy film directed by Nanni Loy and Gianni Puccini, at their second and last collaboration after Parola di ladro. Alberto Sordi, who was author of the story together with Rodolfo Sonego, submitted the script to Angelo Rizzoli, that was not at all enthusiastic about the subject. Later, he met a Spanish producer, married with eleven children, who recognized himself in the story, so the film, which was initially set in uptown Rome, was shot in Madrid. In Spain the film was released with the title El Marido. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
