The Best of Enemies Part 1 

Is your dvd in English ? I could not find it. I found an English VHS, from where I took the audio, and the Italian DVD, from where I took the video, and merged them to make this youtube video

+Piontro Pechetrini Hi, is your english version better quality than this one ? in fact, this one is the result of the refurbished Italian version with English voice. Does a Spanish version exists ?

@@ItalianFriendOfJapan Yes, there's a Spanish dubbed version; I watched it when a I was a kid, fourty years ago.

@@Yorkhesan I would love to have the spanish version! any chance to share, or is there a dvd or an old VHR that I could buy?

@@francescobruno4808 I'm afraid not, it was a SDTV broadcasting from a open signal TV station. I can't remember if it was a Spanish or Castilian dubbed version; it was long time ago, first half 80s.

playing?.. I think David Niven was a platoon commander in ww2. yes..a playboy afterwards

thanks from italy!

Gob Bless you sir and your insight and wisdom!

i totally agree with you about this film. It has always been on my mind and when I saw it years ago I loved it. Not top 5 films of all time but ranks highly of ones I like very much. I put it on my watch later list and though it has taken a long time to get to the top of the list, I looked forward to seeing it when it arrived to that moment! Still love it and happy to have just watched it again!

Joan O'Steen you go to RU-vid search and put the name of the movie and will keep it in storage for you.

it brought a tear to my eye and all!

And at the beginning 1:37 - 1:43 it was funny to see their respective obscene gestures - Niven's British reverse V-sign and Sordi's Italian phallic forearm jerk. ;-)

To make the English version I used a restaured Italian version available on a DVD and the original English audio available on an old VCR tape !!!

@@ItalianFriendOfJapan I am curious if the Italian actors recorded their lines in Emglish during shooting, or, as I suspect, spoke Italian, while the British spoke English, and had dubbing actors for the English version while the Italian version had the original audio of the Italians. If two actors of different languages exchange dioluage, I presume maintaining cohesion would be easy.

@@jstevinik3261 It is hard to say. The main italian character have not beed dubbed, you can hear their original voice in both versions. But it is also unlikely that they had to shoot the sequences two times, to use both language. Then probably the Italian characters dubbed themselves. In fact, Alberto Sordi was also a professional dubber who gave the Italian voice, among others, to Oliver Hardy, in the comic series of Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy. While the English characters have been doubbed in the Italian version that means they used English in the original one.

@@francescobruno4808 I tried to find other films for Sordi and his voice is close to English of his character but I could not be sure if he ever spoken Englsih while his voice is slightly off, so I am not sure. Regardelss, If the English version had the Italians dubbed, it would be excellent. Dubbing has such an infamous reputation. This film was made before Dorty Italain prodcuers to make ww2 films, when Dirty Dozen was a hit for them to rip-off, on par with thier spaghetti westerns. I read that the screenplay dioluage was written by the writer of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Overall nice film. Most versions are the Italian restoration matched with English audio. Yes, I know the Italian version had a couple deleted scenes but not too impactful on the plot. Merry Christmas/happy holidays.

@@jstevinik3261 Actually, the Italian version is longer at the beginning as it shows when Sordi was recruiting locals. That part is missing in the English version as other minor parts. I have not had the opportunity yet to look at the Spanish version that I bought recently form Amazon Spain! Merry Chrismas and Happy New Year

like when they surrendered 120,000 men to the Japanese?

Let's hope they get you

Piontro Pechetrini - Wait! Brave AND courageous? Brave, in that no matter how shameful their cowardice they continue to show up for battles; but courageous? Retreat as an army’s preferred tactic prior to surrender can be courageous if it isn’t commonly the result of loud threats!

:-)

+vaq130 Thanks. The english version does not exist anymore. This is the Italian version recently refurbished. I removed the Italian audio and overlapped the English audio I could get from an old VHS. It has not been that easy as the Italian version is longer, with more funny situations, and the English version was mounted differently. Please help sharing.

+Franz Thanks for movie. You have obviously put a lot of effort into this English version.

+Franz yes the Ita version is funnier. you could have left some minor comments of Sordi when he utters stuff in Roman dialect ahahahha

+Frank N. Hi, I am afraid I never saw Mr. Moses. Looking up in the internet I found to following links:ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h_KOgqvtLig.html ______and_____; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ivqhRMhRBHo.html Not sure if they are what you are looking for.

+Phil Favro You are right. I have been unsure about whether to include the deleted scenes leaving the Italian audio with sub-title only for those scenes or just to cut them as I did.

A

I am sorry but I do not understand German. If you are asking whether a German version exist, I do not know.

See the second part of the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Sl2X1Y3a5sE.html

Yes, you're right. Thanks for correcting. I used the Italian name.

@@ItalianFriendOfJapan I don't know anything about this film but I'm presumming it's Itlain produced? Abissinia is how it's spelt in the film so I think you were right to go with that. Anyway, many thanks for uplaoding this film. I'd never heard of it. Bets not to mention of the brutality of the Italians in Abyasinia...
