Biography:Italian comedian "Mario Carotenuto" was best known for playing smart-alecky middle-class youths, frequently opposite his brother "Memmo Carotenuto", who tended to play Mario's working-class foil in mainstream comedies and theatrical productions. Carotenuto was the son of early silent-film star "Nello Carotenuto". Mario made his film debut in the early 1950s but did not become well-known until he starred in "Alberto Lattuada"'s "The Beach" (1954). Other well-known Carotenuto films include "Scandal in Sorrento" (1955) and "Il Padre di Famiglia" (1963). ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
