Amusing but uneven, this western comedy, originally titled ¡Viva la muerte… tua!, features Peter Nero and Eli Wallach as the roguish Prince Dmitri Vassilovich Orlowsky and the petty bandit Max Lozoya, respectively, who team up to go after a hidden fortune but along the way get involved with a revolution-pushing Irish reporter (Lynn Redgrave), a general (Eduardo Fajardo) and his troops, and the prince’s vengeful cousin (Horst Janson). There are plenty of laughs, and Nero and Wallach are both effective in their roles, but there are some jarring notes (e.g., the ruthless murders of a couple sympathetic people that seem out of keeping with the overall tone of the picture) that keep it from being quite as successful as it could have been.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK.

Movie 544 for 2021.
