. . . IL BIDONE focuses upon amoral cheats, swindlers and murderers. The main character here is a dead ringer for that meat hook dude (aka, Il Duce), and suffers a similar demise as he's stoned to death like an Afghani adulteress. Though this serves him right, after riding around throughout this flick in an S. S. staff car, most viewers would deem the ending more satisfying if some hyenas showed up to chew on the crawling soon-to-be-corpse of this fake sects cult honcho. (Better yet, perhaps a pack of wolves could wolf him down BEFORE he gets stoned.) The whole point of this movie seems to be that crime pays, if you live in a country stupid enough to fight against the Good Guys in World War Two.
