""Le général Della Rovere, héros de la Résistance italienne, est tué en 1943. Les Allemands songent alors à lui substituer un comédien pour l'utiliser comme espion auprès de la Résistance. Un escroc de charme désargenté, Emmanuel Bertone, accepte de jouer ce rôle. Il est donc incarcéré sous l'identité du général. Il rencontre des responsables de la Résistance, reçoit une lettre de la générale et va petit à petit devenir un véritable héros.""
""À Gênes en 1943, l'escroc Emanuele Bardone, qui a ses entrées à la Kommandantur, prétend être un colonel de l'armée italienne. Avec la complicité d'un officier allemand, avec lequel il fait du marché noir, il extorque de l'argent aux familles de prisonniers incarcérés par les Allemands, en promettant une libération. Jusqu'au jour où une des personnes qu'il a trompées, une femme qui a appris que son mari a déjà été exécuté, le dénonce aux autorités nazies. Capturé, il accepte, en raison de la gravité de la peine encourue, de coopérer avec l'occupant. Il est interné dans l'aile politique de la prison de San Vittore, sous l'identité du général Della Rovere, haut responsable de la Résistance, récemment abattu par les nazis. Il devra identifier un chef de la résistance, Fabrizio, que les Allemands pensent avec certitude être présent dans la prison. Au contact de la dignité, de la générosité et de l'héroïsme de ses camarades de détention, Bardone connait une transformation profonde qui l'amène à se comporter comme le vrai général Della Rovere. Lorsque, en représailles à l'assassinat d'un responsable de Milan, les fascistes décident d'exécuter des résistants prisonniers, il se laisse fusiller avec eux plutôt que de révéler l'identité de Fabrizio". -- Site Wikipédia, consulté le 15 janv. 2014."
"Durante l'occupazione nazista, l'ex ufficiale Bertone, che vive d'espedienti, quando è catturato dai tedeschi accetta di andare nel carcere milanese di San Vittore vestendo i panni di un generale badogliano, per smacherare i partigiani. Ma porterà l'immedesimazione del personaggio fino alle estreme conseguenze. (Me reghetti)."@it

"Winner of the Golden Lion at the 1959 Venice Film Festival, directed by Roberto Rossellini and featuring world cinema icon Vittoria de Sica (The bicycle thief), Il generale della rovere is a film based on the true story of Emanuele Bardone, who, during the height of WWII, exploits his fellow Italians by telling them that he will find their missing loved ones in exchange for money. When he attempts to save a man who had already been executed, he is turned over by the man's wife and is forced to become a spy in the Nazi prison for one of the German commanders, Colonel Mueller (Hannes Messemer). Under the false identity of Generale della Rovere, he is ordered to bring the Italian resistance fighters among the prisoners out into the open. As the fake general slowly makes friends with these men, he becomes a leader of sorts, which causes him to realign his moral code and to come to terms with his past life."
"Film of intrigue and heroism within the Italian underground during the German occupation of Italy. Emanuele Bardone, a petty con man, fleeces his victims by posing as a colonel. Persuaded by the Germans to impersonate a partisan leader they have killed, he assumes the admirable qualities of the heroic officer and the German plan backfires."
