This Spaghetti Western comedy is mostly a lively live action version of the Road Runner / Bugs Bunny cartoons with Eli Wallach hysterically funny as the Bugs / Road Runner character, outwitting a group of fellow outlaws every chance he gets after he claims a reward for a bank robbery that they were about to claim themselves. But Wallach shouldn't underestimate some of the people that become involved in his little scheme, especially Brock Peters and Kevin McCarthy. As for the others (Terence Hill and Bud Spencer), well, they get pretty much what happened to the coyote and Elmer Fudd.
Probably one of the first westerns that I can recall having a waltz as it's score, this is a gorgeous spaghetti western, filled with action and violence, yet funny and fortunately missing unnecessary sexual innuendo. This is about the chase, and sometimes, the chased and the chaser sit down to have a little chat. It keeps you in suspense, has a lot of nice little twists and turns, and it is a pleasant surprise among the many films of its type to come out of the 1960's.
