    Brilliant Satire
    Saw CipollaColt in Europe in 76. The title was translated "For a Fistful of ... Onions". Could never forget this flicker! Onions bring a big smile to my face ever since :D . Brilliant Satire about an otherwise SAD, SAD world. Who would have thought it was going to be actual ... globally ... in the 3rd millennium?

    Not finding it back home, I thought it was censored - no pun intended - but browsing Franco Nero on Google is mum about "Cry, Onion!" ... I Had to use my broken Italian to find it on EU sites. Today I found it on IMDb - may God Bless you for bringing it home :) Here we sorely need good, healthy, sarcastic satire - it's the most effective gadget of TODAY'S SURVIVAL KIT. And onions. Plenty of non GMO CryOnions ... What else would wake us up and get us to recover from this economic depression and impending decadence, if not a good serving of genuine daily ... LAUGH :D
