Reception
In his investigation of narrative structures in Spaghetti Western films, Fridlund groups this film with some other successful westerns where the Giuliano Gemma character is falsely accused and seeks vindication. What sets 'I lunghi giorni della vendetta' apart is its skillful play with ironic humour and surprises.Fridlund, Bert: 'The Spaghetti Western. A Thematic Analysis'.
