Stasera sciopero is a 1951 Italian comedy film directed by Mario Bonnard.[1]
Plot
Augusto, rich and miserly pizzicagnolo, is attacked on his way home. During the fight the attacker is fatally wounded with his own revolver. He was a poor fool, known for his incurable prodigality.
In the clinic where he is hospitalized, Augusto is subjected to a particular operation: the surgeon, after learning that a prodigal died fighting with a miser, decides to insert the brain of the poor attacker into the skull of Augustus.
The result of the operation transforms the pizzicagnolo: he experiences moments of prodigality alternating with as many relapses into avarice. In a moment of euphoria he agrees to the wedding of his daughter, always opposed for reasons of convenience, and during the wedding banquet he is hit in the head by an iron ball: finally the fusion of the two brains is completed.
