What happens
Poor, But Handsome (Italian: Poveri ma belli) is a 1957 Italian comedy film directed by Dino Risi. There have been two sequels, also directed by Risi and starring Marisa Allasio, Maurizio Arena and Renato Salvatori: Pretty But Poor in 1957 and Poor Millionaires in 1959 (the latter not featuring Allasio, who by then had retired from acting). In 2008, the film was included on the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage’s 100 Italian films to be saved, a list of 100 films that "have changed the collective memory of the country between 1942 and 1978."
