In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Blistering performances.

During this african war of 1941, Alberto Sordi (italian captain) fights against David Niven (British major). This comedy is for fraternity and against stupid wars like many... The script is good. Sordi is excelent as usual but his opponent Niven is a sub-category actor. With a better british actor, I'll give 9. My vote: 8

This movie is one of my favorites. Niven is hilarious as is Sordi. They play off each other beautifully and the script is a laugher from beginning to end. Sordi's wide-eyed expressions and expressive Italian style complimented Niven's traditional Brit, "Jolly ho, Old Pip!" making a wonderful film. The soccer game between the Italians and Brits using a round Ethiopian basket is a classic scene. I love this film, have seen it at least a dozen times and will see it again every chance I get. Hey, join in and see it too. You will not be disappointed.

This movie is really great, it's not full of special effects or things like those, but it is made very well. Then, there's a great actor like Alberto Sordi, but the others actors are very good too: I think they have been very good to perform two kind of people: the italians and the english. It's very nice and sometimes comic, I think everyone should see it!

A war movie about the comedy of errors that occurs when blundering Italian and British combat units try to outwit each other in North Africa during WW II. Made with wit and humanity, it's a shame this fine picture never seemed to find the audience it deserved.
