Made for history buffs. If you loved Operation Mincemeat or Devotion, start here.
The mood

The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 2 hr 6 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1974: an older pace and style.

In 1945, the dictator of fascist Italy and Hitler's close ally Benito Mussolini faces defeat. In a desperate attempt to avoid capture, he tries to flee the country with his lover Claretta Petacci, but Italian partisans are on their tail.
