First off, let me just say, that title is a mouthful. “A Genius, Two Partners and a Dupe” – like, who came up with that? Seriously, sounds like someone just threw a bunch of words at a wall and hoped something stuck. (And hey, maybe that’s kinda the movie’s charm, right?). Directed by Damiano Damiani, don’t expect Leone-level seriousness. This is Terence Hill doing his usual charming, slightly-smirky thing.
So, where to watch it? Well, I gotta be honest, it’s not exactly plastered all over Netflix or Amazon Prime. You might get lucky finding it on some of the smaller streaming services that specialize in older films, especially Westerns, stuff like that. Think niche kinda platforms. You know, the ones that look like they were designed back in ’98 but have some hidden gems.
Then there’s the…ahem…”less legal” route. I’m not *suggesting* you go that way, of course. But, you know, the internet is a big place. I’ve seen some dodgy streaming sites that host it. I’d advise going the legal route if you can. I’d hate for you to get into trouble.
And subtitles? Yeah, you’ll probably want ’em. It’s an Italian film, originally “Un genio, due compari, un pollo” (try saying *that* five times fast!). English subs are pretty easy to find, thank goodness. Just make sure they’re actually synced up properly, you know? Nothing worse than watching a movie and the subtitles are like five seconds behind. It’s like trying to read a fortune cookie after you’ve already eaten it – pointless!
