I saw the Secret of Santa Vittoria tonight ... pretty good movie if you can find it. It tells the story of a drunk, turned mayor of a small village, after the fall of Mussolini. When the Nazis come marching in looking for wine, the village pulls off an elaborate ruse, secretly stashing their wine until the Germans leave. It's a comedy, but it doesn't let you forget there was a war going going on -- or that the Nazis were evil.
