Plot
Sicily, 1943, before the Allied assault in July. A pair of American commandos parachute inside the island for a secret mission.

Production
The film was filmed in Licata and Agrigento. It was completely shot in English, with great difficulty for the lead actor Nino Manfredi due to his lacking of English language skills. The English-language version took its title from the American anacronym during the war used for situational conditions before any sanctioned mission by the military: SNAFU, meaning Situation Normal, All Fouled Up.
