Macario Against Zagomar (Italian: Macario contro Zagomar; also known as Macario Against Fantomas) is a 1944 Italian comedy film directed by Giorgio Ferroni and starring Erminio Macario.[1][2]
Plot
In Paris, the dreaded Zagomar kidnapped the daughter of a scientist to force him to deliver his latest discovery: a machine that "blocks" over time. Macario, the assistant teacher, decides to confront this elusive bandit that lurks in the bowels of the city.
Cast
- Erminio Macario as Macario Duplessis

- Gero Zambuto as Professor Moreau
- Nada Fiorelli as Mirella Moreau

Production
The film was made during World War II[3][4] and should have been entitled "'Macario Against Fantomas'" but producers never acquired the rights to do so. To resolve the issue Vittorio Metz created the character of "Zagomar" a master villain modeled on "Fantomas".[5]
