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 (after The Mercenary (1968) and Companeros (1970) ) uses a flashback style similar to its predecessors, but is otherwise quite different. The gringos here are two average Italians who are hardly good for typical SW heroes.

The many interesting ideas of the plot are realised without any 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.
