After reviewing the american remake on this blog I mentioned it might be worth seeing the italian original and I was right.Released in 1974 and running 103 minutes,I took 1 star of for being subtitled and very adult content.Vittorio Gassman is outstanding as the blind Captain and Alessandro Momo is a real baby face young aide and Agostina Belli is truly too alluring to waste herself on this disagreeable Captain BUT makes its believable anyway.The Italians are far more mature about sex than americans,remember prostitution is legal there but so is the Vatican,seems like a real conflict in morality but thats the italians for you.That said,this is a far more "adult"version than the american and might be too strong for some,but I recommend it for those who liked the american version and want to see what the inspiration was.A italian language trailer URL link follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.Enjoy.
An army cadet accompanies an irascible, blind captain on a week-long trip from Turin to Naples. The captain, Fausto, who wants no pity, brooks no disagreement, and charges into every situation, nicknames the youth Ciccio ("Babyfat"), and spends the next few days ordering him about and generally behaving badly in public. In Rome, Fausto summons a priest to ask for his blessing; in Naples, where Fausto joins a blind lieutenant for drinking and revelry, the two soldiers talk quietly and seriously about "going through with it." Also in Naples is Sara, in love with Fausto, but treated cruelly by him. What do the blind soldiers plan? Can Sara soften Fausto's hardened heart? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>
