Scusi, si potrebbe evitare il servizio militare?... No!

About This Movie

So, 'Scusi, si potrebbe evitare il servizio militare?... No!' is one of those 70s Italian comedies that leans heavily into absurdity. It plays with themes of bureaucracy and the absurdity of military life, often landing on the side of slapstick humor. The pacing feels quite loose, almost like a series of sketches bound together. The performances, while not exactly nuanced, capture that chaotic energy of the era. And let's not forget the practical effects used in some of the gags – there's a certain charm to the physical comedy that feels very much of its time. It's not your typical laugh-a-minute romp, but it has its own unique rhythm that some collectors appreciate.

This film has had a bit of a mixed bag in terms of availability. Originally released on VHS, it’s quite scarce these days, especially in decent condition. DVD editions have surfaced, but finding a good copy is still a hunt for many collectors. Interest seems to be growing, as fans of obscure Italian cinema are always on the prowl for oddities like this one that reflect the quirks of its time.
