Reviews

" Remake of the famous saga of Don Camillo, those two armed taps from the Po Valley, which make in a love-hate relationship with their fundamentally different worldviews each other a hard time. A coarse-mesh garish film - Don Camillo is now driving roller skate and even tried to perform a wedding ceremony as a paratrooper -. , Not convincing in all respects, as undemanding entertainment but acceptable "
