Luciano Salce was a genius of mediocrity in Italian cinema. The small-town averageness literally radiates from his films, and only the presence of Monica Vitti and Ugo Tognazzi in the lead roles keeps Duck in Orange Sauce afloat over time. After all, they were prominent representatives and interesting types of their acting generation. Duck in Orange Sauce can be viewed as an echo of the sexual revolution of the 60s, which arrived late in Italian cinema (a decade earlier, there was still strong censorship in Italy). Unfortunately, the film, which did not stand out from the flood of loud Italian comedies at the time, has already exhausted itself and practically does not work comedically today. For me, except for the actors, the film has nothing more to offer. Overall impression: 45%.

An actor can portray naïve roles. I even think that in old 1970’s comedies it’s desirable. But that naivety needs to be classy and if it’s not classy I am unable to enjoy the sense of humor this movie employed.
