The fourth episode of the film Rogogag, the setting for The Cream Cheese is open ground on the outskirts of Rome where a director (played by Orson Welles) is making a film on the Passion of Christ. The main character, however, is not Christ, but Stracci, an ever-hungry proletarian in the part of the good thief and who despairs at the sight of his lunch being eaten up by a dog while he, nailed to the cross, plays his part in one of the scenes. Last year, the 25th Mostra showed Morto che Parla by Daniele Vicari on the life of Mario Cipriani, the bricklayer who played Stracci in The Cream Cheese.
