Reception

[edit]

Italian film critic Marco Giusti described the film as "a Zorro of sorts in western flavor, slightly violent and with a poor adventurous mood".[1] Corriere della Sera film critic Vincenzo Buonassisi referred to it as unoriginal, and paired it with The Scarlet Pimpernel.[3] Film historian Antonio Bruschini praised the film, referring to it as original and worthy of rediscovery.[1]
