"An Italian comedy that is not at all obvious or of dubious taste and one of the ones that would have deserved more exposure. Set during the second world war, a group of stage fighter put on shows for small towns and army troops, as they try to avoid the war conflict itself. Paolo Villaggio, away from his on-screen Fantozzi character, turns in the mature performance of an aged and experienced comedian as the leader of the group."
