Here's an idea for a children's movie. Name a bird Birdo Lucci and give him a flock of friends named Luchino, Roberto and Federico. Then name two dingo puppies Sid and Nancy. Small children who are film buffs devoted to art-house Italian directors and heroin-addict biographies are sure to howl with laughter.
The makers of Napoleon, of course, put those jokes in for the grown-ups. Unfortunately, they forgot to put some in for the children.
