Product Description

Don Matteo Bondini (Terence Hill) isn't your everyday parish priest. The former missionary is blessed with extraordinary intuition and a deep understanding of the human soul which comes in handy when a crime has been committed. This set of 12 episodes from the most popular series on Italian TV gives us Don Matteo at his best. Always one step ahead of Captain Anceschi (Flavio Insinna) of the police department, Don Matteo uses his gifts to reawaken the consciences of the criminals he encounters. This well-written series mixes drama, faith, humor, and spiritual lessons with fine acting and great production values. Wonderful family entertainment and inspiration. In Italian with English subtitles.

Customer Reviews

Excellent series
My wife bought this for me because she heard it was the most popular TV show in Italy. It has turned out to be quite excellent and worth the purchase. The series is highly entertaining and pleasant to watch. There are a number of returning characters who offer interest and change of pace as their ongoing stories evolve. The English subtitles are well done and easily convey the story as the Italian mannerisms and body language do a great deal of the communication. (They use their hands a lot) The plots are quite interesting and different from the rehashed American mystery themes. The viewer gets to know the characters very well as aspects of their personality are brought out in the stories. The humorous interplay in the Italian style is enjoyable.

The role of the priest is well played and the religious aspects are handled with respect and accuracy. Fr. Matteo is presented as one who has a compassionate understanding and insight into the human beings that come into the story and deals with things in a humble and common sense manner. The series is simply delightful. My only regret is that it appears that this is the only one of the six or more seasons that is presently available in DVD.

I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a pleasant and interesting entertainment.

Don Matteo, a family film--- you will love it!
Don Matteo, who has been called the Italian Fr. Brown, is not a disappointment. This action-packed series is appropriate for even children, and is full of humor, human interest, and serious moral dilemmas, with solutions true to traditional Catholic teaching. In addition, the casting is superb. Highly recommended.
