The Fascist town council hears this and believes that he is the town’s new leader. They surrender to him and make him the new mayor. He rises to the occasion and when he finds that the Germans plan to occupy his town and take their wine (over a million bottles), he works out a plan to hide it..

Reviews:

Very good, but a bit uneven.
The film is set in Italy and begins just after the Italians surrender to the Allies during WWII. At first, the town is ecstatic–they are free and the fascists leaders quickly surrender the town to a man they designate the new mayor, Bombolini (Anthony Quinn). Bombolini seems ill-prepared, however, when the town learns that the Germans are coming–and will be occupying the town. However, a bright young man (Giancarlo Giannini) comes up with a great idea–to put all the town’s wine in the Roman tunnels and then collapse the tunnels. That way, the Germans won’t be able to steal the town’s best resource. First, they need to move 1,000,000 bottles very quickly. Second, Bombolini needs to play nice to the German commander (Hardy Kruger) while also keeping the secret. Third, Bombolini needs to keep his nasty harpy of a wife (Anna Magnani) in line–and that might just be the most difficult task of all!

So is the film any good? Of course. With Anthony Quinn in the lead, the film is naturally quite good–as he seems a natural. He is also ably assisted by a nice supporting cast and nice location shooting. However, the film is a bit odd. The first half was rather comical and light in mood. The final portion, with the Nazis, was very dark–and it drug a bit in tempo compared to the first part. Not a perfect film but a very good one.
