La Ragazza E Il Generale (aka The Girl And The General) (1967)

Separated from his retreating regiment, a private (Umberto Orsini) with the Italian army during WWI comes across an Austrian general (Rod Steiger) and captures him. Counting on a reward from the authorities for capturing him, he joins forces with an Italian girl (Virna Lisi) in bringing the enemy general as their prisoner. Directed by Pasqule Festa Campanile (WHEN WOMEN HAD TAILS), this Italian anti-war comedy goes down easily enough until it gets to the rather heavy handed downbeat finale. A subdued Rod Steiger is very good, Lisi provides the pulchritude and Orsini is blandly inoffensive. The film manages to combine humor with its anti-war message and the three leads don't overplay the comedy. The excellent score is by the great Ennio Morricone. It's not something I could really recommend but if you come across it, you could do worse.
