Plot

Sicily, 1943, before the Allied assault in July. A pair of American commandos parachute inside the island for a secret mission. They are asked to check on the German weapons and positions before the assault. Along the way, they meet a wounded Italian prisoner of war. He agrees to help them complete their mission, provided there are no bumps in the road and no Germans thrown in.

Cast

Production

The film was filmed in Licata and Agrigento. It was completely shot in English, with great difficulty for the lead actor Nino Manfredi due to his lacking of English language skills.[2] The English-language version took its title from the American anacronym during the war used for situational conditions before any sanctioned mission by the military: SNAFU, meaning Situation Normal, All Fouled Up.
