Description
Cast: Vittorio Gassman, Alberto Sordi, Silvana Mangano
Gassman and Sordi, two of Italian cinema’s greatest leading men, play a pair of reluctant draftees during WWI who do everything they can to avoid action on the front lines. Director Monicelli (The Organizer) delivers another of his beautifully performed serio-comedies, a decidedly unpatriotic look at Italian military heroism.
