Franco, Ciccio and the Cheerful Widows (1968)
A 3-episode film starring popular comedians Franchi and Ingrassia. In the first episode, Carlo and Oreste are married to the same woman; when she delivers twins, they fight for paternity. In the second episode, Celestina needs a heir to receive her dead husband's fortune. In the third episode, young widow Daisy arrives in Italy to meet her deceased much-older husband's family and ends up marrying his great-grandson.
