The Shortest Day (Italian: Il giorno più corto) is a 1962 Italian Comedy film. It is a parody of the war movie The Longest Day and stars the popular duo Ciccio Ingrassia and Franco Franchi in the leading roles. Dozens of many other well-known actors accepted to appear in the movie in cameo roles for free, to avert the bankruptcy of the production company Titanus.

The Sicilians Franco and Ciccio are taken from a small town in Sicily and shipped in the Italian army which has to face the Nazi troops along with U.S. allies in the famous Normandy landings. Franco and Ciccio, more clumsy than ever, having won the war back in Italy, but they are out of work.
