L'allenatore Nel Pallone
''L'allenatore nel pallone'' (also known as ''Trainer on the Beach'') is a 1984 Italian comedy film directed by Sergio Martino. The title means literally ''The coach in the ball'', a pun on the Italian idiom "to go in the ball" which means "to get confused" or "to lose one's mind". The film was a box office success and achieved a large cult status in Italy, mainly thanks to the many cameo appearances by soccer players, coaches and journalists. The film had a sequel in 2008, ''L'allenatore nel pallone 2''.

Oronzo is still optimistic about his chanc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
