Don Camillo and the Contestants

1972 · 111 min

A gentle, good-natured small-town comedy of scheming and reconciliation, easy to settle into and quietly amusing rather than laugh-out-loud.

Overview: Mayor Peppone might very well lose the elections and Don Camillo makes sure that the mayor's delinquent son gets his act together while his own niece makes Peppone think she is pregnant by his son.
How it feels: Warm, light, satirical and earnest. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Politics, family, faith, class
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
