Review by elo-equipamentos

Fernandel and Gino Cervi were protagonists of five movies over Dom Camillo a Priest against a communist Politician Peppone, this one was the fourth movie of the successful series that starts in 1952 until 1965, broadly speaking the Producers aiming for capitalize on a strife that since the communist party landed at Italy in 1943, henceforth it was spreading all around the country like gunpower fuse, mainly because the commies actually don't believe in God, thus the clash between the priesthood and the reds is unavoidable.

Both in Rome going back to their small town Brescello, there they face each other in every single matter, as the reds gained a ground to raise a housing state where has a smallest old forsaken Saint's chapel still used as worship spot, it triggers a struggles among them, that is settled when two sides make a fair agreement, also when Peppone's son decides be marry, it lifts a neuralgic issue to overcame, as member of communist party he points out just allowed a civil marriage, Dom Camillo states otherwise, in a church, so they end up a compromise, thus the adamant commie Peppone follows the Stalin's requires, in other hand Dom Camillo has a secret adviser....

Funny picture mocking the opposites trend of through ongoing at its time cross-country on Italy, moreover the stereotyped characters actually like each other somehow, even having their own point of views, a slight dated by now, either way it delivers all their offered with strong social commentary.

Thanks for reading.
