The Miser (Italian: L'avaro) is a 1990 Italian comedy film directed by Tonino Cervi. It is a loose adaptation of Molière's comedy The Miser.

The rich and miserly Don Arpagone lives his days following precise patterns and commanding his servants and sons. He wants to marry a rich girl named Marianna, but is loved by the boy Valerio, without Arpagone know. As if that were not enough, Arpagone, in addition to wanting the inheritance of the new bride, intends to marry his daughter with a rich noble to earn more money.
Don Arpagone also has a chest full of gold coins, which jealously guards because he fears that everybody wants to steal it, including the servants and children in his family. Just when one day Arpagone drops his guard, his young friend Valerio steals the cash coins to marry his beautiful lover ...
