Plot
A pompous, bumbling knight leads a ragtag band across medieval Italy.
Sinekatalog’s take
Mario Monicelli's medieval comedy sends Vittorio Gassman's pompous knight and his ragtag band across Italy. Scruffy, hilarious and inventive, with its made-up pidgin Latin, it is a beloved, influential classic of Italian comedy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
