(L’armata Brancaleone, aka Brancaleone’s Army)
The creators of Big Deal on Madonna Street reteamed for this deliriously absurd send-up of the medieval Crusades genre, an Italian Monty Python and the Holy Grail whose ribald put-downs of all things “honorable” turned the film into one of Italy’s biggest hits. Vittorio Gassman is a blowhard knight with a mind as warped as his grasp of language; hooking up with three not-so-wise men, he soon blazes a torrid path through medieval Italy, encountering plagues, damsels in distress (including a whip-wielding Barbara Steele), not-so-saintly holy men, and evil lords.
• Written by Monicelli, Age and Scarpelli. Photographed by Carlo Di Palma. With Vittorio Gassman, Catherine Spaak, Gian Maria Volontè, Maria Grazia Buccella.
(120 mins, In Italian with English subtitles, Color, 35mm, From Luce-Cinecittà)
