Their films, stories, and unforgettable characters shaped the collective imagination and half a century of Italian social history like few others. Their cultural and artistic legacy remains profound and enduring. Creating a film about the duo is both a necessary tribute and an opportunity to explore and illuminate a pivotal chapter in film history, offering new insight into twentieth century Italian society and its evolving customs. With more than 120 screenplays, they collaborated with the most important Italian directors from Monicelli, Risi, Comencini, Germi, and Sergio Leone to their close friend Ettore Scola, and earlier with Blasetti, Gallone, and Mastrocinque. Later, Scarpelli also worked with a new generation of filmmakers, including Marco Risi, Virzì, d'Alò, Archibugi, Troisi, and Radford. Together, Age and Scarpelli earned five Oscar nominations, becoming some of the most internationally respected Italian writers. Their films often tackled social and political themes, offering sharp, ironic portraits of postwar Italy. "Riusciranno i nostri eroi?" aims to delve into the historical and cultural context in which they worked, showing how their stories reflected and responded to the transformations of postwar Italy and how generations of audiences and filmmakers have been shaped by their worldview. Their partnership was defined by a masterful blend of comedy and drama, rooted in the belief that laughter and tears are inseparable. Their vivid, popular, irresistible dialogue created iconic characters and unforgettable situations. A documentary on the pair would not only examine the distinctive traits of their narrative language but also highlight how their approach to writing influenced both Italian and international cinema.
