Well, i first saw this movie when i was an 8 years old kid, and boy, this movie really made an impression in me. I remember our TV set was an old Phillips 550, a B&W TV set, a valve model( a transistor TV set?, no... It was too expensive then). And, i could never forget it. The movie is perfect, the wardrobe, the scenery, the acting... Well, you see, they don't take their roles too seriously(except for Gassman, but, it's intentional), and this shows a face of history that, could have happened... Say... No heroism (well, a little...) and the rest, cynicism and many conflicts of interests(each one is trying to have his piece of the cake, in this case, the fortified city and it's treasures) Thank god it was released in DVD, here in my country. And here's an advice: Go get yours. You won't regret. It is an ageless movie, that is near forty now, and, does not lose it's impact.
