Avventure di Pinocchio, Le (1972, ITA/FRA/GER) C-131m. *** D: Luigi Comencini. Starring Nino Manfredi, Gina Lollobrigida, Franco Franchi, Ciccio Ingrassia, Andrea Balestri, Mario Adorf, Ugo D'Alessio, Lionel Stander, Jacques Herlin, Vittorio de Sica. Carlo Collodi's classic story gets a heavy dose of 1970s rural realism in this estimable adaptation. Film sticks relatively close to its source and has some fine actors to compensate for slight overlength. Cowritten by Comencini (LA DONNA DELLA DOMENICA). English title: THE ADVENTURES OF PINOCCHIO.
