I know, but would Corbucci had been able to make it better?Judging by his later films after Companeros I’m not sure.
Tessari on the other hand had also the skills to become a great SW director, the Ringo films were a promise for the future, but instead he missed out on the genre in its heydays, and when he returned in 1969 it was comedy, but the type of comedy which Barboni made much better the next years. And in Long Live Your Death he very haplessly mixed unfunny comedy in the action, the kind of film Carnimeo did much better (well, in some of his films). As a successor to Companeros, and as such it surely was intended, it is a total disappointment. It also made less money than Companeros and Tessari’s previous westerns. But it was not a flop, the film sold about 2,6 mio tickets in Italy.
