Writer/director Luigi Comencini originally created Le Avventure di Pinocchio as a five-and-a-half-hour miniseries for Italian television. This 134-minute version, featuring various guest stars, was released theatrically. Pinocchio (Andrea Balestri) is a wooden puppet carved by Geppetto (Nino Manfredi), who is turned into a little boy by a magical fairy (Gina Lollobrigida). She insists that he be obedient and loving to his father Geppetto, but the rebellious Pinocchio tries to live independently -- and encounters many ordeals, from being turned into a donkey to getting swallowed by a whale. After he and Geppetto escape from the whale, can Pinocchio be the good son his father deserves?

A delight
from beginning to end. I don't know if it's faithful to Collodi's story but it's so tender,sweet and funny that it doesn't matter.It is also a treat to see Gina Lollobrigida and Vittorio de Sica in such a movie. The Pinocchio character is moving: he loves his dad and his fairy, but he insists in doing his own. We all know his kind.
