action

The Italian theater director Guido Guidi, his own leading actor and always on the verge of financial chaos, is engaged by Peppino Garibaldi, a nephew of the famous hero, for a tour of Mexico. The rough, loud and anti-clerical Guidi soon finds himself in loving enmity with the priest Albino Monaclieri. Both get into the fighting against their will in the revolution between the progressive Capitan Carrasco and the colonel of the federal troops, Herrero. They experience a series of sometimes dangerous, sometimes grotesque adventures in which they barely escape a firing squad several times. While with Albino the fate of the poor population is becoming more and more conscious, with Guidi religious feelings and feelings that question his previous life awaken. In his last role as Garibaldi, who proclaims the victory of the oppressed, he is shot by Herrero and dies in Albino's arms.

Remarks

  • The Italian original title of Sergio Corbucci's final part of his revolutionary trilogy (based on The dreaded Two and Two Companeros ) translates as “What am I doing in the midst of this revolution?” As in Corbucci's earlier revolutionary wests, the story is told in a flashback. The film was seen by 2.7 million moviegoers in Italy.
  • The flight scenes were shot with the support of the “Aereo Club di San Sebastian”.
  • In the opening sequence, a mass shooting of revolutionaries, General Herrero listens to Vincenzo Bellini's revolutionary opera I puritani .

Reviews

Michael Kraus found: “... this little-known late work by Corbucci is a tear-inducing farce on the Mexican revolution, whose humor lies somewhere between bitter satire and pure slapstick. Gassman / Villagio make a wonderful chaos couple far away from any Spencer / Hill stupid thing. Incidentally, it was the only appearance of both of them in this genre. ”Ulrich Bruckner was less enthusiastic in his spaghetti western overview, he rated the film as a“ mediocre Sergio Corbucci satire, set during the Mexican Revolution, supported by a good Ennio- Morricone Score ".
