Summary: Bombolini is a fairly worthless drunk in the small Italian town of Santa Vittoria in the closing days of World War II. When word comes that the Fascist government has surrendered, he climbs a water tower to tear down the flag. He can't get down and someone gets the crowd to chant his name to give him confidence. The Fascist town council hears this and believes that he is the town's new leader.(imdb)

Absolutely brilliant cinematography from the phenomenal Giuseppe Rotunno, and the acting is nothing to scoff at. I didn't get the subplot at all, which forces the overall fanciful tone down a dark and twisted detour.

A little longer than it needs to be but some genuinely terrific scenes make it a worthwhile watch.

Strange comedy-drama, in which an Italian village, after the fall of Mussolini, ends up with a cheerful drunk for mayor. He proves his worth by leading them in a ruse: hiding a million bottles of wine from occupying Nazis. The first half is farce, but the second half turns oddly serious, adding to the offbeat feel, as does the epic length (139 minutes). It drags, to be sure, and the acting can be pretty hammy, but there are amusing moments throughout--like the mayor's idolization of Machiavelli.
