COMICAL ITALIANO whimsy with red faces and ladles of pasta much in evidence. Dramatisation of GIOVANNI GUARESCHI’s story of a rural Italian priest MARIO ADORF outwitting local left-wing mayor BRIAN BLESSED through combination of lethal sousing five-course meals and a side order of ideology.

AROUND THE SAME TIME ADORF APPEARED IN SMILEY’S PEOPLE.
One of the greatest actors in Europe, best known here for this and appearances in various VHS-worthy Italian exploitation masterpieces.
