Greece’s Ionian Islands are occupied by the Italian Army when it brings a large garrison along with a few Germans to the tranquil island of Cephalonia, whose inhabitants surrender immediately. Captain Antonio Corelli, an officer of the Italian 33rd Acqui Infantry Division, has a jovial personality and a passion for the mandolin, and trains his battery of men to choral sing.

“I'm not writing novels, the screenplays are my novels. If the movie never gets made, it'd almost be okay because I did it. It's there on the page.”
