“This is one of the most beautiful westerns you will ever see. Itu0026#39;s a true masterpiece and arguably Corbucciu0026#39;s finest.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSergio Leone will always be the name everyone associates with spaghetti westerns but Sergio Corbucciu0026#39;s contribution to the genre deserves great recognition. People usually always mention Django and The Great Silence when talking about Corbucciu0026#39;s westerns but Companeros is perhaps his best work.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enCompaneros is a much lighter film than the aforementioned. Like most Corbucci westerns there is a political undertone to the film and the plot revolves around the Mexican revolution (similar to A Professional Gun which Corbucci directed 2 years earlier). Che Guevara look-a-like Thomas Milian is superb as the comical revolutionary Vasco and Corbucci regular Franco Nero is excellent as his ultra-cool Swedish mercenary partner. Add to the mix a marijuana-smoking psychopath played by Jack Palance and you have one explosive concoction of a western. Pulling all this together is another masterful score by the legendary Ennio Morricone. I guarantee you will still be singing the theme tune a week later!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI rate this as one of the best Westerns of all time. Itu0026#39;s a really fun film and an absolute must for fans of the Spaghetti genre.”
