A Swedish arms dealer and a Mexican peon team up to rescue the intellectual leader of the Revolutionary cause, while taking part in numerous misadventures along the way.
"Compañeros" is one of Sergio Corbucci's best-known westerns, as well as one of the best-known spaghetti westerns altogether. The film has been compared to "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", as it intertwines the paths of several characters in the middle of a conflict, but takes place during the Mexican Revolution instead of the American Civil War.
As well as being a solid spaghetti western, this also happens to be a good showcase for Jack Palance. Being of a younger generation, I am most associated with the older Palance of the 80s and 90s, but he made quite a name for himself in the western genre (as many people did in those days). This is a fine performance worth watching.
