This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.This is a VHS transfer. There are two versions of this film - one in English, and one in Italian (I Due Nemici). This is the English version.Maj. Richardson (David Niven) and Lt. Burke (Michael Wilding) are two British soldiers on a recognizance mission over Ethiopia in 1941 when their plane crashes in the desert. Capt. Blasi (Alberto Sordi), an Italian officer, finds the Englishmen and offers to help them: he'll let them go if they allow him and his men to take over an old fort nearby and stay there without being bothered. Richardson and Burke agree, and they return to their base of operations, only to discover that they've been ordered to attack the fort and capture Blasi and his men. Remarkably, Alberto Sordi didn't speak English when he made this film, and he learned all his dialogue phonetically.

best of enemies
comedy about a forgotten war in africa in1941. well acted, good script,moves at a good pace. made in the sixties the attitudes are a little dated, but it is a farcical comment on war. My copy is a little fuzzy and washed out compared to the VHS i have, but was still able to watch and enjoy

The Best of Enemies
A clever movie about a forgotten war. The Brits and Italians are sparring on the edge of Ethiopia and get into a variety of misadventures with the natives and each other. It all swwms to work itself out in a serio-comic ending.
