Watch it on Amazon.
Terrible title for a good film. Directed by Blake Edwards (The Pink Panther) and written by William Peter Blatty (The Exorcist), this is a complicated farce taking place in Italy during WWII. The Americans capture a small Sicilian town, but they won’t surrender unless they can have a party first. Everyone gets drunk and suffers the next day. Things go wrong and eventually the Nazis take over the town and the Americans and the Italians must work together to get rid of the Germans.
James Coburn stars with some familiar faces of the time. I really liked this one. Blake’s knack for hijinks shines gag after gag. I plan on buying this someday.
