Description
Cast: Vittorio Gassman, Catherine Spaak, Gian Maria Volonté
In the plague-ridden middle-ages, a bluster-filled knight (Gassman, in one of his funniest and finest performances) incompetently leads a group of put-upon peasants to help him take over the small village of Aurocastro...but surprises are in store! Monicelli’s effective mixture of absurd comedy and period realism in his biggest box-office success has earned this surrealist hit comparisons with Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
