Lando Buzzanca (mugging to his heart's content) plays a bank accountant who discovers that his balance book is 100 dollars short; having only one weekend to find the money, he seeks help from a crooked relative of his, who proposes the following scheme: Lando will become a wanted criminal, the relative will arrest him and collect the bounty, then he will help him escape and they will share the money. But when Lando finally escapes from prison, his cellmate - a Mexican gang boss - insist on him joining his gang. "For A Few Dollars Less" is a fairly accurate spoof of the Sergio Leone - Clint Eastwood spaghetti Westerns (the bad guy even has a music box that he uses to determine when the guns will be drawn in a duel), but not a very funny one. The second half, especially, spends too much time on the Mexican gang and becomes tiresome. I think the American title, which actually makes sense in terms of the plot, is the best joke of the film! Oh, and Gloria Paul is wasted in a small part. *1/2 out of 4.
