Interesting facts

I due evasi di Sing Sing is a 1964 black-and-white Italian film directed by Lucio Fulci starring the comic duo Franco and Ciccio. The film is the first of three comedies with the duo by the same director, with I due pericoli pubblici and 00-2 agenti segretissimi, to be released in 1964.

Production

The film was written by Marcello Ciorciolini and Fulci himself. It is one of the 13 films directed by the latter that star the Sicilian comic duo of Franco and Ciccio, 3 being released in 1964, including I due evasi di Sing Sing.

The film was the first real role for Lino Banfi (he had made a brief credited appearance in another film by Fulci in 1960), and his first film with Franco and Ciccio, with whom he went on to become a regular sidekick for nearly a decade.
