I am not a party animal. I do not drink. I have two left feet. Loud music makes my head throb. I find it difficult to keep awake after 11 PM.

So when friends ask, “What’re you doing on New Year’s Eve?” I say, “Watching a movie at home.” And what better way to say goodbye to a bad year with a film that you hope will be a sign of things to come? A movie that embodies all the joy you want for the dawning year? Don Camillo ( Le Petit Monde du Don Camillo in French – it was a Franco-Italian production) is the story of a little town in the Po Valley in Italy. Even though it is named for its lead character, the Catholic priest of the town, the film is not just about the hot-headed Don Camillo and his arch-enemy, the communist Mayor Peppone, but about the little town itself. We begin with an important event: a victory procession through town. The Town Council elections have just been held, and the Communist Party – headed by Giuseppe Botazzi aka Peppone (Gino Cervi) – has won.

Peppone has been elected Mayor, and there’s much rejoicing and red flags and a marching band. A communist leader has also arrived from the city to congratulate Peppone, up on the stage that’s been set up in the square. Don Camillo (played by French comic actor Fernandel) watches the procession go by, and after a minute or so of quiet seething, explodes and rushes back into the big, empty church to his perennial chatting companion: the Crucified Christ, above the altar. To the Crucified Christ, Don Camillo pours out all his sorrows: how could that godless Peppone have become Mayor? Why did Christ allow it? What will happen to the little town? And Christ listens.

And speaks (in a low, gentle voice, full of patience and longsuffering – that of Ruggero Ruggeri). Or is it simply Don Camillo’s conscience? Whatever it is, Don Camillo brushes it aside and decides he can’t let the communists – who’ve now set up loudspeakers in the square, and are getting ready to create even more of a racket – prevail. He hurries up to the bell tower of the church and begins pulling on the ropes. The bells are massive, clanking clear and loud, drowning out every sound in the little square. Consternation reigns up on the stage. Download Anime Hiiro No Kakera Sub Indo Mp4.

Peppone scowls darkly. He knows just what Don Camillo is up to: sabotaging his, Peppone’s, victory. These two men are old enemies; they know each other very well. Peppone is trying to think of how to retaliate when a woman comes hurrying up onto the stage. She makes her way to Peppone, to whom she says something, pulling on his arm as she does so. The next thing we see, Peppone’s hurrying off the stage with her, and the crowd gathered on the stage follows, everybody equally confused about what’s going on, but curious. And Peppone appears on the balcony of his house, beaming with pride and joy, with a little bundle in his arms.

His wife’s given birth to a son! Up in the bell tower, when he discovers what’s happened, Don Camillo grins too, and begins ringing the bell ropes again, lovely joyous peals. Not because the ‘godless communists’ have had their victory interrupted, but because Peppone has become, anew, a Papa. The church bells in the little town ring for the ‘new comrade’ (as Peppone proudly proclaims) who’s arrived. Some days later, Peppone’s wife (Leda Gloria) arrives at the church with two other people, carrying her baby to be baptised. “What will his name be?” Don Camillo asks.
