Poster for the movie The Magnificent Two

The Magnificent Two (1967)

Novelty toy salesmen get caught up in a South American revolution when one is mistaken for a murdered rebel leader and the canny rebels decide to make use of the resemblance in their effort to oust the oppressive regime currently in power. Wry vehicle for English comic duo Morecambe and Wise has quite a bit of action and plenty of laughs, with a certain amount of socio-political commentary lightly delivered as well. I’ll certainly be looking for their earlier movies — The Intelligence Men and That Riviera Touch — as well.

  Recommended. Otto finds this one pleasing enough to relax.

Movie 174 for 2021.
