...Ritual Bite. Sometimes a wolf appears to be eating Dr. Ginsburg, but its play bites are only a ritualistic greeting. Wolves say hello, explains Ginsburg, by nipping each other's muzzles. So he greets his research subjects the same way. "We sniff at each other," he says, "and then the wolf takes my face in his jaws. I bite him back, but since my jaws aren't big enough, I bring my hands up to grasp his muzzle. This seems to be satisfactory...

Sandhurst-trained David Niven never lets down the light comedy side of officership. As Blasi, Sordi lacks comic bite, and tends to be more laughed at than with. Director de Laurentiis seems to abide by some central-casting Geneva Convention that national stereotypes are immutable. The English are natty, tightlipped, unflappable. The Italians are sloppy, openhearted, fidgety. The film is unflaggingly amiable, and a few of the older moviegoers may be nagged by the recollection that the real thing was less jolly...
