      IL MEDICO DELLA MUTUA

      Doctor Guido Tersilli, a young medical graduate in Rome, wants to open his own practice. To make money, he joins a health insurance scheme where the more patients he has, the more he earns. However, he faces challenges with patients demanding unnecessary treatments.

      The film was the highest-grossing film in Italy in the 1968-69 season and, in 2008, was included on the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage's 100 Italian Films to be saved list, a list of 100 films that "have changed the collective memory of the country between 1942 and 1978.

      Alberto Sordi won a David di Donatello and a Globo d'Oro as Best Actor.
