Me, Too, in the Mafia

About This Movie

So, 'Me, Too, in the Mafia' is a pretty wild ride, blending comedy and crime in a way that’s almost absurdist. Viffer Hansen, this hapless crook, pulls off a crazy heist, selling the Rundetårn in Copenhagen to an unsuspecting oil sheikh. You really get a kick out of his misadventures, especially the dynamic with his counterfeit buddy Valde. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, swinging between manic energy and slow burn moments, but that's part of its charm. The performances add a layer of quirkiness, especially with Don Luigi's comical menace. It’s this strange mix of slapstick and heist film that makes it stick in your mind, and the practical effects used for the forgeries are surprisingly clever.

This film has seen a bit of a cult following, with various formats released over the years, though finding an original print can be a challenge. The scarcity of well-preserved copies has piqued collector interest, especially among fans of obscure comedies. It's one of those titles that might not be on everyone's radar, but its oddball humor and unique premise certainly make it one to keep an eye out for.
