Don Camillo ei giovani d'oggi (English: Don Camillo and today's youth) is an Italian film from 1972. It is based on the novel Don Camillo and the Redhead by Giovanni Guareschi . The originally embarked film of the same title remained unfinished as Don Camillo's lead actor, Fernandel , passed away during the filming. Fernandel was replaced by Gastone Moschin and the role of Peppone was also filled, as Gino Cervi did not want to continue without Fernandel. A German-language performance took place in 2005 at the open-air theater of the Waldbühne Kloster Oesede .

action

In 1972 the small, tranquil village of Peppone and Don Camillo is overrun by modern times. First, the pharmacist couple Bognoni moves into the village; both are communists who bother Peppone with their modern ideas. He already has enough worries with his youngest son Michele, who has long hair, calls himself Veleno (poison) and is the leader of the local motorcycle gang. Don Camillo is also confronted with the new era: the Curia has put Don Francesco, known as "Don Chichì", at his side, who is supposed to implement the innovations of the Second Vatican Council in the community, in which the stubborn Don Camillo always holds mass still holds according to the old rite . In addition, he has to take care of his unruly niece, young Caterina, called Cat. She is engaged to Veleno's archenemy Ringo, the leader of a rival rocker gang from the city. Don Camillo also insists that his niece will be elected Miss Unità , while Peppone's re-election is at risk due to the Bognoni couple's establishment of a Maoist cell. A love story develops between Veleno and Cat and after much back and forth they finally get married, as it should be for decent young people.

criticism
