Le General de I'Armee Morte (1983)
Falling a little short of either comedy or drama or whatever the intent may have been, this bland film directed by first-timer Luciano Tovoli is about an Italian general (Marcel Mastroianni) sent to Albania along with an army chaplain (Michel Piccoli) to bring back the remains of 3,000 compatriot soldiers. The Italian general runs into a German counterpart (Gerard Klein) with a similar mission, but even among the three of them, it is an impossible task to sort out 3,000 skeletons and 3,000 dog tags and come up with any kind of order -- not a situation that lends itself to hilarity, no matter what one's perspective might be. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
