The Doctor In Spite of Himself (1931)

Medico per forza (The Doctor in spite of himself) is a 1931 film directed by Carlo Campogalliani. It is a free adaptation of Molière's play Le Médecin malgré lui.

After starring the comedy, for many times in the theaters, Ettore Petrolini reinvents Sganarelle, in a way close to the character Bertoldo of Giulio Cesare Croce. Referring to Petrolini, the film critic Filippo Sacchi had written "You have to accept it as it is, with his temperament and his admirable qualities ... with the grotesque and the joke that elude even without logic in the comic genre"

Synopsis

Après avoir essayé pendant longtemps sur la scène, Ettore Petrolini réinvente Sganarelle, d'une manière proche au caractère Bertoldo de Giulio Cesare Croce. Se référant à Petrolini, le critique de cinéma Filippo Sacchi avait écrit " Vous devez l'accepter tel qu'il est, avec son tempérament et ses qualités admirables ... avec le grotesque et la blague qui échappent même sans logique dans le genre comique"
