Synopsis

The leader of a gang of thieves (Francisco Petrone) is on the run from the police. He wins the lottery, and needs someone honest to collect the prize for him.[4] He has diverse underworld friends, but none can be trusted.[5] Given the risk of being sent to prison for perhaps fifty years, the honest person must be very, very special.[6] He finally finds the woman he needs living in a boarding house.[4] Alicia Vignoli answers his want ad, which gives the film's title. She is wide-eyed and innocent, and does not realize she is being hired by a crook. Petrone falls in love, and decides to become honest himself.[7]

Reception

The film was well-received, described as a good-humored comedy.[8]

Cast

The cast includes:[1]

gollark: Well, yes, I was going to implement a forgiving one but then realized that that one was very good anyway.
gollark: Wow, very μhahahaha.
gollark: That one is mildly evil, but I suppose my entry also happily mucks with the RNG.
gollark: Yes, I thought of this, but the issue is [REDACTED]ing grudgers.
gollark: The only major improvement I can think of would maybe be patternmatching on the weird alternating one, and turning evil at some point in order to exploit angels.
