The twenty year teaming of the star-directors has overtones of Aldo, Giacomo and Giovani with whom they worked.
The new box office hit transfers them to Palestine at year zero, as Christ is about to be born. The production walks a tight rope between getting laughs from sacrilege gags and not offending devotees - rather winningly. A nice twist has the priest loose his faith at the point where the thief is converted.
Good production and strong support cast with striking features
