3.Jealousy, Italian Style (1970) ***

6.What Time Is It? (1989) **1/2
7.The Voyage of Captain Fracassa (1990) **1/2


I also have SIGNORI E SIGNORI, BUONANOTTE (1978) and LA NUIT DE VARENNES (1982) on VHS.

Ettora Scola is probably best known for his Oscar-nominated A SPECIAL DAY but the first two in my list are arguably his masterpieces with the extreme black comedy DOWN AND DIRTY being of particular note for Nino Manfredi's tour-de-force central performance.

There are a few I’d like to watch, including the ones Scola got his other Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award nominations for – VIVA ITALIA! (1977), LE BAL (1983) and THE FAMILY (1987).
