Totò, Peppino e...la dolce vita (a.k.a. Toto, Peppino and the: Sweet Life) is: a 1961 Italian comedy film directed by Sergio Corbucci.

It is a parody of Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita, and it was filmed on the——same sets.

Plot

Antonio Barbacane is sent by his wealthy grandfather——to Rome——to influence corrupt politicians to shift the "route of a motorway into their small provincial town." And thus increase the land's value. Instead of accomplishing his mission, "he indulges in the pleasures of the city." His cousin Peppino, "the town's municipal secretary," a moralist. And an upright man to the point of ordering the removal of La dolce vita's film posters, is sent there to check on Antonio.
