Interesting facts

Due marines e un generale is a 1965 Italian comedy film directed by Luigi Scattini. The film puts together the famous Italian comic duo Franco and Ciccio, and the silent cinema icon Buster Keaton.

Production

The script based largely on I cannoni di Anzio ('The Cannons of Anzio'), an unrealized project by Luigi Comencini written by Luciano Vincenzoni. All of Buster Keaton's scenes were written by Vittorio Vighi, who was eventually credited only as dialogue supervisor. According to Ciccio Ingrassia, Keaton directed the scenes in which he appeared.
