==Comment==
*Some of the original film negative was stolen during production and the film had to be finished with alternate takes. According to Fulvio Morsella "the entire film is made up of alternative takes".
While his name does not appear in the credits, Sergio Leone had produced Un Genio, Due Compari, Un Pollo (aka A Genius, Two Partners, and a Dupe) via his shareholding on the production company Rafran, and also directed the pre-credit sequence (which bears a few of his directing trademarks without being anything special), with Damiano Damiani helming the rest of the picture and receiving the screen credit. "It was an amusing script, directed by someone with no sense of humour at all" (producer Fulvio Morsella).


In contrast to My Name Is Nobody, Leone never got suspected of being the actual director, and most probably also never wanted to be. "The film disappointed me so much that I decided to produce no more westerns" (Sergio Leone).  - by Stanton
