The Crazy Kids of the War

The Crazy Kids of the War (original Italian title La feldmarescialla, French title La grosse pagaille) is a 1967 Italian-French comedy directed by Steno. It belongs to the 'musicarello' genre, the musical comedy format built around popular singers that flourished in Italy during the 1960s.

The film stars singer Rita Pavone, alongside Mario Girotti — later famous as Terence Hill — plus Francis Blanche, Aroldo Tieri, Teddy Reno, Giampiero Littera, Jess Hahn and Giovanni Cianfriglia. Written by Franco Castellano and Giuseppe Moccia, it stands as a lighthearted example of the era's Italian pop cinema, blending song, romance and farce in the typical style of the genre.
