Synopsis
The third-class actor Guido Guidi and the Padre Albino get caught in the turmoil of the revolution, mainly due to Giudi's impertinent behaviour. Despite being often at odds, they become friends and unintentionally foil the plans of General Herrero.
Comment
Corbucci's third revolution western uses a similar flashback style as its predecessors, but is otherwise quite different. The gringos here are only two average Italians who are hardly good for typical SW heroes.
The many interesting ideas of the plot are realised without a greater enthusiasm, so that the film plods along quite unexcitingly, as does Morricone's lazy soundtrack, which varies only a few well-known simple guitar motifs. Still worth a look for being uncommon.
