Wikipedia article
'Professor Kranz tedesco di Germania' is a 1978 Italian comedy film directed by Luciano Salce and starring Paolo Villaggio.
Despite the title the character played by Villaggio bears little resemblance from the one he played on Italian television shows under the same moniker. Instead of a sadistic/overbearing personality Kranz is here shown with a bumbling and meek demeanor more similar to that of the other 'loser' characters in Villaggio's repertoire (Fantozzi and Fracchia).
Plot
The story recounts the travesties of a German scientist/stage magician eking out a miserly life in Rio de Janeiro's favelas until getting involved in an improbable kidnapping/ransom plot.
