这部姗姗来迟的意大利西部体裁影片，半喜剧性的《一个天才，两个搭档，一个傻子》（字面意思是"一个天才，两个搭档，一个菜鸟"，在美国更通俗地命名为"天才"）由特伦斯·希尔主演，它是《无名小子》（1973年）的伪续集1。奇怪的是，这位名为达米亚诺·达米亚尼的导演获得了塞尔吉奥·莱昂内的无记名援助；毫无疑问，埃尼奥·莫里康内担当了原声音乐。他的这部配乐与《无名小子》如出一辙，其中有几支曲子几乎是这位作曲家对这部早期电影音乐毫不掩饰的改编。它的喜剧主题尤其如此，它们有着类似的编曲和同样傻里傻气的曲调，"驿马车… 致爱丽丝"中引入贝多芬的"致爱丽丝"与早期配乐中"狂野部落"引入瓦格纳的"女武神的骑行"遥相呼应。它的主题并不像《无名小子》一样令人难忘，但事实上贝多芬的融合是相当辉煌的（和夸张疯狂的）。

Un Genio, Due Compari, Un Pollo

By James Southall Saturday January 12, 2013

Composed by Ennio Morricone
Hexacord / 2001 / 37:42

A relatively late entry in the spaghetti western genre, the semi-comic Un Genio, Due Compari, Un Pollo (literally “A Genius, Two Partners, A Chicken” but named more mundanely as “The Genius” in the US) starred Terence Hill and is a pseudosequel to My Name Is Nobody. The wonderfully-named director Damiano Damiani received uncredited assistance from Sergio Leone and, of course, Ennio Morricone was on hand to score. His music is very much in the same vein as My Name Is Nobody, with several pieces being thinly-veiled rewrites of ones the composer wrote for the earlier film. This is especially true of the comic main title, with its similar arrangement and similarly silly tune, and “Cavalcata… Per Elisa” does for Beethoven’s “Für Elise” what the earlier score’s “Mucchio Selvaggio” did for Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyryies”. The main theme isn’t nearly as memorable as Nobody‘s, but actually the Beethoven integration is quite brilliant (and gloriously daft).

There is plenty of more serious music here too. “Il Pollo” is striking and dramatic; “Quando Arriva l’Amore” introduces some more romantic material, pop-based but with the classy vocals of Edda dell’Orso (and more comic tones of a choir) adding a distinctive touch. I love the gently colourful drama of “Ansia dell’Oro”, fluttering winds and breezy brass providing a picture of bucolic bliss before it gradually gets overwhelmed by more hard-hitting suspense. My favourite presentation of the main theme comes in “Questa Pazza, Pazza Corsa” with a frankly ludicrous effect running through the track which sounds a bit like a barking dog. The most beautiful piece is the song “Glory, Glory, Glory” (sung in English by Catherine Howe) and a stunningly beautiful orchestral treatment of it, “Dolore e Gioia”. The score as a whole certainly isn’t as good as the wonderful My Name Is Nobody, but it’s still very entertaining with several great highlights, though it’s not that easy to find (there’s a very rare Japanese CD and then this Hexacord release from 2001, which added a track from Autostop Rosso Sangue as a bonus).
