Description

The hilarious account of an irrepressible village priest's journey to Moscow-disguised as a Communist! Those friendly enemies, Don Camillo and Peppone the Communist mayor of the village, are at it again. In a soccer pool, Peppone wins ten million lira—an unseemly amount of money for a good Communist to possess. So Don Camillo agrees to collect the winnings secretly and-shades of capitalism!-invest them for the mayor. But Peppone continues to bombard the villagers with anticlerical statements that leave Don Camillo smoldering with unpriestly rage. Then Peppone prepares to take a group of the party "elect" on a junket to the Worker's Paradise. Don Camillo insists on going along. Peppone has no choice, and "Comrade" Camillo, in disguise, joins the group, carrying a prayer book bound in a cover stamped Maxims of Lenin. And then the fun begins.
