In 2001, renowned Italian filmmaker Ettore Scola released his film Concorrenza sleale. Upon its release, Scola stated repeatedly that his historical film about the anti-Jewish legislation of 1938 aspired to go beyond the historical setting in order to convey acritique of intolerance in contemporary Italian society. Moving from an analysis ofthe film's evolution from script to post-production, this article offers a textual and contextual analysis of Concorrenza sleale, investigating its relationship both to the period the film seeks to represent and to the time of its production. Questioning both the allegorical ambitions of the film and the political implications of historicizing the issue of racism in Italy, this article argues that Scola's film is ultimately unable to abandon the italiani brava gente template, thus leaving its ambitious questions about Italian attitudes towards the other not only unanswered, but also unasked. Keywords: Italian cinemafascismanti-Semitismconformismxenophobia Notes We might recall here Natalia Ginzburg's note to Primo Levi accompanying Einaudi's rejection of his manuscript in 1946 (Anissimov 1998: 261)
