School of Thieves (1986)
Original title: Scuola di ladri
School of Thieves is a 1986 Italian-language comedy movie directed by Neri Parenti, with a running time of 1h 36m. It stars Paolo Villaggio, Lino Banfi and Massimo Boldi.
Frenetic in its pacing and with miniscule character development, this trite slapstick farce stars three Italian comics - Paolo Villaggio, Lino Banfi, and Massimo Boldi as the idiot-nephews of a wealthy invalid (Enrico Maria Salerno). The uncle's plan is to teach the trio how to successfully steal for a living but the plan does not have a chance against their exaggerated ineptitude.
