My Name Is Rocco Papaleo ( Italian: Permette? Rocco Papaleo) is a 1971 Italian film directed by Ettore Scola.
The film follows a former boxer from Sicily (Mastroianni) who emigrates to the United States, but rather than success he finds only poverty and loneliness. [1] The film was shot partly in Chicago, [2] and was made while Scola was doing post-production for Trevico-Turin: Voyage in Fiatnam, [1] another "politically engaged" film. [3] It was called "a harsh attack on American consumer values and their soul-destroying materialism". [4]
