Funny Dirty Little War (Spanish: No habrá más penas ni olvido; original title translatable as "There will be no more sorrow or forgetfulness", a line from Mi Buenos Aires Querido tango lyrics) is a 1983 Argentine comedy-drama film directed by Héctor Olivera, written by Olivera and Roberto Cossa, based on a novel of the same name by Osvaldo Soriano. It was produced by Fernando Ayala and Luis O. Repetto, and stars Federico Luppi, Miguel Ángel Solá, Ulises Dumont, Héctor Bidonde and Víctor Laplace.[1]

The film is set during the early 1970s, in central Argentina. A political conflict between the local mayor and the deputy mayor escalates into an armed conflict, with the involvement of both the terrorist organization Argentine Anticommunist Alliance and the guerrilla organization Montoneros.
