Me and the Mafia

About This Movie

So, 'Me and the Mafia' is sort of this quirky gem from 1973 that blends comedy with family elements in a way that keeps things light-hearted but also a bit silly. You’ve got this charming con artist, Viffer, and his buddy pulling off these ludicrous scams, which is always fun to watch. The pacing has a nice rhythm, and the atmosphere is pretty whimsical, especially with the backdrop of Sweden. The disguises and antics are a hoot, and while the performances might not be award-winning, they definitely add to that charming vibe. It’s one of those films that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still manages to entertain with its clever twists and turns.

This film has a bit of a cult following among collectors, primarily due to its unique premise and the way it captures a certain era of comedy. However, finding a good quality print can be a challenge, as it wasn't widely distributed and many copies are elusive. The DVD releases have been sporadic, adding to its scarcity and appeal within niche circles. If you're into obscure comedies, this one is certainly worth keeping an eye out for.
