Trivia
The name of the luxury Venetian hotel is the "Hotel Gabrielli". The hotel does exist, overlooking the Venice Lagoon, and the exterior shots are of the hotel in its actual location. The interior filmed scenes don't reflect the interior of the actual hotel however.

Funny comedy film

This comedy film is better than most, even though it wasn't successful and the critics hated it.

It's set in Venice and involves farcical mix-ups that are caused by three very different men being confused with each other - because their surnames sound similar and they have the same initial.
