... Like a Mammutones ....

Mammutones are masks from Sardinia

"The best way to see Sardinia is by car, so Ian rents an old Fiat Topolino and drives east to Orgosolo. Orgosolo is a former bandit town and is now famous for its powerful political murals. Nearby Ian witnesses the Mammutones perform a folk dance, where black-masked men wearing goat bells representing Moorish prisoners are rounded up by dancers dressed as Sardinian soldiers."

Has it been noted before that the author of this screenplay shares his surname with an actor from "The Wizard of Oz" - Bert Lahr played the cowardly Lion if my memory serves me correctly.
