Shouldn't we include a note telling that this film is still censored here in Italy, even after 25 years of "free press" and "free speech"? it:Utente:Lohe

This article claims facts without substantiation in the Trivia section.

IMDb says the film has a runtime of 173 minutes; my copy of it is 156 minutes. Neither is anywhere near the 200+ suggested here - what's the best way to proceed? Bristle-krs 04:46, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry if i don't write in english.. Anche se è vero che Giulio Andreotti è stato accussato per mafia, e non sono qui per difenderlo, che cosa centra con questo film??

Rough translation: "even if it's true that Giulio Andreotti was accused of mafia and I'm not here to defend him, what does it matter with the film?" --Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 23:54, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This entry is completely unsubstantiated. The link to Scripta Manent is irrelevant. I clearly remember watching this movie on RAI once or twice in the Eighties. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.42.208.182 (talk) 14:58, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Italian version of this article makes the following points: The film was banned in 1982 because, in the words of Giulio Andreotti it "damages the honour of the army" (!) and there was a legal action against the film for "vilipendio delle Forze Armate" (defamation of the Armed Forces). In 1982 its screening in a cinema in Trento was banned by the DIGOS, a branche of the Italian state police. It was eventually shown at a film festival in Rimini and screened on the Sky TV channel in 2009.METRANGOLO1 (talk) 15:00, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pics

File:MoustaphaAkkad.jpg and File:MoustaphaAkkad.jpg seem production pictures during shooting. I'd add it to the article but I suspect that the uploader that claims them as own work may not really have the rights to them. --Error (talk) 18:03, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
