RELEASE DATE

2014 release. Digitmovies present a release of
Carlo Savina
's original soundtrack for
Il Moralista
. Only a 45rpm EP was recorded for this film, with the main score written by
Franco Migliacci
and Carlo Savina and performed by
Fred Buscaglione
. Nothing had been previously released from the instrumental OST, but thanks to the mono master tapes it was possible to release all of Savina's background music, which recalls the instrumental leitmotif and alternates between a dance tune and a romantic love theme. This CD contains the song from the opening credits (a fanfare in music hall style during the beginning and ending credits), and a single with a different intro. Directed by
Giorgio Bianchi
in 1959.
Agostino
is an impeccable and unintelligent secretary-general of OIMP who seems like a bureaucrat with morals so high it's almost absurd, but in reality, is a shady individual who attempts to play up to the influential president of the organization and woo his daughter. Although he is eventually found out, he takes revenge by pillorying the foibles of the president. According to some cinema historians, the screenwriters were inspired by the lawyer
Agostino Greggi
when choosing the name for the character played by
Alberto Sordi
. Greggi was an influential spokesperson for the most conservative Catholics of the Christian Democrats. He became famous for his campaigns to set high moral values (but unlike the character in the movie, he was honest). According to others, the character was based on a young
Oscar Luigi Scalfaro
(president of Italy from 1992-1999) who was accused of reprimanding a woman in public for taking off her jacket and exposing her shoulders. When the movie was released, it was prohibited to minors because of some scenes with excessive profanity. Nowadays it would not be considered excessive. This film was the debut for
Maria Perschy
(1938-2004), an attractive Austrian actress who died poor and alone.
