  • Lost without a message to sledgehammer home, Kramer turned to bombastic comedy with this World War II yarn.

  • Quinn, as always, is the highlight in this fine Stanley Kramer production.

  • The sort of film you usually fall asleep in front of on a Sunday afternoon -- later to wish you'd stayed awake for the outcome.

Audience Reviews for The Secret of Santa Vittoria

½

A charming cast invigorates this predictable tale of small town Italian mountain villagers outwitting the mean old greedy Nazis at the end of WWll, hiding a lot of wine that the Krauts want to appropriate. Quinn, Magnani, and Giannini shine.
