Reviews

" This little-known late work Corbucci 's is a tearful farce on the Mexican Revolution, the humor lies somewhere between bitter wicked satire and pure slapstick. Gassman / Villagio give away any Spencer / Hill messing about a wonderful couple from chaos. Of the two, it was the only one appearance in this genre "

" Mediocre, during the Mexican Revolution playing Sergio Corbucci - satire, supported by a good Ennio Morricone - score "
