Italy. The film
was directed by the other Sergio, Sergio Corbucci and starred French singing

has been hanged without a proper court hearing. Eventually Hud finds out it was
one of the town's most dignified citizens who really robbed the bank. That puts
him in great danger. The Italian, French, German co-production was later
