A quite negative retrospective review states: "Sergio Corbucci directed some of the best serious Spaghetti Westerns ever made and some of the best focused on the Mexican revolution (
Compañeros and
The Mercenary).But when he tried his hand at Spaghetti comedy, the result was often an overlong bore. That was the case with
Sonny and Jed and that’s the case here.Gassman overacts badly as the star of the show. Villaggio is a bit more loveable, but not loveable enough to build a film around." ==References==
