If Mediterraneo hit the spot, these will too

Both keep coming back to the same thing: world war ii
The difference: Made in the 1940s, in a different era of the craft

The same preoccupation in both: army

One thread runs through both: island
The difference: None of the bleakness Mediterraneo is built on

Common ground: world war ii
The difference: Not nearly as witty as Mediterraneo

Witty where it counts, playful underneath

Both land romance and tenderness at once
The difference: Leans harder into drama than Mediterraneo does

Both lean on wit more than on comedy

Romance with a pulse of play, in both cases

Bleak war in both cases

Comedy built on romance, twice over

Tender romance, and it commits to that

Both lean on wit more than on war
In the mood for more witty?
