Febbre da cavallo is a 1976 Italian comedy film directed by Steno and starring Gigi Proietti. It was shown as part of a retrospective on Italian comedy at the 67th Venice International Film Festival. Initially conceived as a safe product destined to be forgotten quickly after its passage in movie theaters, numerous television appearances have raised over time to cult-classic status for fans of light Italian comedy.
