Patrocloo0! E il Soldato Camillone, Grande, Grosso e Frescone
Take a very famous joke, from a well known radio show, in this case the
legendary "Alto Gradimento" a very famous 70's italian radio show
series, and put it in a title and then try to build a story around. Or,
conversely, in a very bad history put a popular catchphrase. In any
case, the result is always the same: a bad and predictable movie.
Directly from the "military genre" this film can be regarded as one of
the worst of Mariano Laurenti, director from whom we expected more.
From this movie we can catch very few things. We have A banal story,
incoherent too, in which Bracardi is literally stuck with his famous
catchphrase "Patroclooo!". His character breaks into story at least
four or five times, without reason and without explanation by the
other, except for a brief stop in one of his last forays.
Pippo Franco, the male protagonist, is playing as usual his "crying
style" with silly jokes and calembour. He finds in Laura Troschel, his
wife at the time, a shoulder that sometimes streamline the story.
From the classic conflict resulted a mistaken identity Bruno Camillone
Bruno ends up in Army. There with his clumsiness and his little will to
work, he create many troubles in the barracks sending in crisis the
colonel on duty. He falls, also, in love with Tamara (Laura Troschel),
and at the end he married her, despite the disapproval of her parents.
That's it. We would like to tell you something more, maybe talking about some successful gag, but really we haven't seen
