Secret of Santa Vittoria, The

Aroview: Bombastic war comedy with Quinn as a wine sodden local buffoon who through a number of contrivances becomes town mayor. When the townsfolk learn of a retreating German platoon heading their way they conspire to hide a million bottles of their famed vintage.

Leisurely told this slight tale only comes to life through the raucous performances of the leads with Quinn and Magnani really sparking off one another.
