About Private Angelo
Angelo has been drafted into the Italian Army in World War II. He does not like people shooting at him, so he tries all sorts of tricks to avoid being caught up in the action. However, events always seem to lead him back to the fighting.
Directed by Michael Anderson, Peter Ustinov, Private Angelo leans on a strong ensemble — Godfrey Tearle, Maria Denis, Peter Ustinov — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1949.
