What happens

What Am I Doing in the Middle of a Revolution? (Italian: Che c'entriamo noi con la rivoluzione?, also known as ¡Qué nos importa la revolución!) is a 1972 Zapata Western comedy film. The title should be interpreted, according to the director Sergio Corbucci, as "What Am I Doing in the Middle of the Western Cinema?". It is the final chapter of the Corbucci's trilogy about the Mexican revolution, after The Mercenary and Compañeros. The film mixes comedy and political apologue. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
