Defenestrator movie night this Thursday: Big Deal on Madonna Street

at Firehouse Bikes 8:00pm Thursday, July 31
Mario Monicelli's hilarious 1958 satire of the classic crime caper film "I Soliti Agnoti" (Unknown Persons) or "Big Deal on Madonna Street" stars Marcello Mastroianni, Victorio Gassman and Claudia Cardinale. The "Ocean's Eleven" of the Italian working class, the film is about a group of small time thieves (who have chosen thievery instead of the back-breaking alternative of the factory) and ne'er-do-wells who bungle a robbery attempt. The film mocks the machismo and glamor of the typical crime film, instead highlighting the social-realism of the period. In black and white.
