Maria and Pasquale move into an old palazzo building in Naples. The woman takes advantage of the belief that the house in haunted, in order to get her lover into the house undisturbed. Taken from the famous theatre comedy of De Filippo, this is one of the rare occasions in which Eduardo does not act in a film he has directed. Another version was made in 1967 by Renato Castellani, starring Vittorio Gassman and Sophia Loren.
