Count Max (Italian: Il conte Max) is a 1991 French-Italian comedy film directed by Christian De Sica and starring De Sica, Ornella Muti and Galeazzo Benti.[1] It is a remake of the 1957 film Count Max, which was itself a remake of the 1937 film Il signor Max. Both films had starred Christian De Sica's father Vittorio De Sica.
The young Alfredo repairs motors in Rome, but he is vulgar and ignorant, although Alfredo is very friendly with a noble: the "Count Max". Max often invites Alfredo in his palace, amused by Alfredo's gruff ways, and eventually decides to teach him the true ways of etiquette. When the Count Max falls in love with a mysterious French girl, and chases in Paris, Alfredo finds himself alone in a noble palace, and organizes a big party.
