Pattuglia di notte

This film does a superior job of balancing its exceptionally crude humor against the setting of occupational narrative of a police officer moonlighting as the Unknown Comic (bag over head), just as the protagonist does a superlative job balancing both careers. While criticized as appealing to a adolescent sense of humor, Night Patrol is entirely worthwhile for all ages, so long as they have a vulgar and adolescent level of maturity. The fact that the humor is very coarse and the laughs cheap does nothing at all to detract from the intensity of that laughter or the sense of fulfillment that it engenders. Night Patrol has been too long out of print and deserves a reissue.
