Add to a movie listDon Camillo et les Contestataires (Don Camillo e i giovani d'oggi) est un film franco-italien de Mario Camerini sorti en 1972.
Inspiré du roman homonyme de Giovannino Guareschi et sixième opus de la saga Don Camillo, le tournage débute en 1970 sous la direction de Christian-Jaque, mais doit s'interrompre en raison de la maladie de Fernandel (qui mourra quelques mois plus tard). Les producteurs ne souhaitant pas attendre et voulant remplacer l'acteur, Christian-Jaque et Gino Cervi, pour qui un Don Camillo ne pouvait se faire sans Fernandel, quittent le tournage. Il reprend quelque temps après, avec Mario Camerini à la réalisation, Gastone Moschin dans le rôle de Don Camillo et Lionel Stander dans celui de Peppone.
Synopsis
1972 : dans le pays de Peppone et de don Camillo, les choses ont bien changé. Tout d'abord, une nouvelle pharmacienne est arrivée, Jole Bognoni dont le mari est lui aussi pharmacien et les deux sont communistes. Les deux rivaux historiques ont cependant bien d'autres problèmes. Le fils de Peppone porte les cheveux longs selon la mode, il est surnommé Veleno et c'est le chef des "Capelloni" de la Basse. Don Camillo a aussi une nièce, la jeune Catherine, une marseillaise française et rebelle qui se fait appeler Cat, diminutif de Caterpillar. Catherine est fiancée avec Ringo, chef de bande des Scorpion de ville, rivaux de Veleno. Elle est envoyé en Italie dans la paroisse de Don Camillo par sa mère pour être rééduquée.Actors

The story starts in a small [albeit unnamed] town, simply known as "a small world", in the Po lowlands of northern Italy, in the early summer of 1946. The town's Communist party led by Peppone has just won the majority of seats within the city council, an event which they exploit for propagandistic purposes – and with some non-vocal, but church bell-assisted protest by the outraged Don Camillo, the spiritual leader of the town's Christian political party –, when an unexpected event puts an instant stop to this arising conflict: Peppone has just added a new member, a son, to his family, and following a personal and pugilistic appeal by Peppone himself (as well as some admonishment from Christ) to a reluctant Don Camillo, the child is baptized in Camillo's church. Similar conflicts arising in the course of the story are settled between Don Camillo and Peppone in a similarly conflicting, but ultimately unified fashion, such as:

After some failed attempts to block the major's plan, Don Camillo ultimately tricks Peppone into including him (under a false name and with forged papers) among the Italian communist representatives going on the other side of the iron curtain to attend the twinning ceremonies. Only Peppone and the other comrades from Brescello will know the priest's real identity. During the Russian stay they will face a series of situations that will show them both the political contradictions of Soviet Russia and the normal life of its common people.
