I'm not liking the "comment" that comes up for this film and, to be honest, am becoming tired of what's starting to seem like gratuitously critical and clever film-review. I don't see how anyone can write a serious review about this little-cited 1969 film. "...glosses over WW2 atrocities in Italy." In fairness, it's set in a very specific time and location and was never meant to give an overly serious message about the war.

Bumbolini..(waits). BUMBOLINI!!

I feel like someone crapped on my head.

Totally agree and also with your other comment regarding war - time atrocities. The reality is though, this was a commercial flop. It's a two and a half hour, not particularly funny, "war comedy" set in fantastic locations, but simply never resonated that much with international audiences. 🐭
