Mia nonna poliziotto (i.e. "My Grandma a Policewoman") is a 1958 Italian comedy film directed by Steno and starring Tina Pica. [1] [2]
The old grandmother Tina arrives in town to attend the wedding of his nephew Alberto with his girlfriend Ileana.
Upon arrival she discovers that she has been stolen of a medallion that her late husband had given her.
He goes to the police station to file a complaint and get the dear object back, but given the length of the investigation, he decides to carry out the search for the thief himself, combining a great deal of mess.
Eventually, by chance, he finds the thief, who lives in the same hotel, also managing to have an entire gang of criminals arrested.
The grandson Alberto can marry the beautiful Ileana and the grandmother Tina will be appointed, by merit, an honorary colonel of the female police.

Commedia all'italiana, or Italian-style comedy, is an Italian film genre born in Italy in the 1950s and developed in the 1960s and 1970s. It is widely considered to have started with Mario Monicelli's Big Deal on Madonna Street in 1958, and derives its name from the title of Pietro Germi's Divorce Italian Style (1961). According to most of the critics, La Terrazza (1980) by Ettore Scola is the last work considered part of the commedia all'italiana.
