About This Item
In 1943, small-town mayor Italo Bombolini (Anthony Quinn) was regarded by his constituents as a clod installed by Mussolini adherents. That would change when retreating German soldiers threatened to rob the village of it's priceless cache of vintage wine, and Bombolini responded by leading an elaborate operation to hide a million bottles in a nearby cave. Director Stanley Kramer's charming comedy from the Robert Crichton novel co-stars Anna Magnani, Virna Lisi, Hardy Krüger, Sergio Franchi. 140 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
