"This Comencini version of the adventures of Pinocchio is the arguably the most fateful to the original novel as well as perhaps the best, including some of the biggest names in Italian comedy of the seventies, like Manfredi, Lollobrigida and Vittorio de Sica. 

Fun for all family, and undeservedly little known of outside of Europe."
