Long Live Your Death


Long Live Your Death aka Dont Turn the Other Cheek, originally titled Viva la muerte... tua is a 1971 ItalianSpanishGerman international coproduction spaghetti western action comedy film directed by Duccio Tessari. The film is mostly a send up of political Spaghetti Westerns also called Zapata Westerns, like A Professional Gun and Compaeros.

At the same time, the Irish journalist Mary ODonnell wants to fire up the revolutionary cause and bribes sheriff Randall to have the Mexican revolutionary El Salvador escape prison. Even though El Salvador is dead, the sheriff accepts, haggling up the price. It turns out that he has a scam going, where he takes money to let prisoners escape and then kills them to get a reward and the prison warden gets half of the taking. They choose Lozoya for the escaping hero as he is to be executed anyway. Randall is further elated when he finds the priest with Lozoya, because Orlowsky is his cousin, which he blames for his handicap, some affliction of the back so he must wear an iron support under the clothes to be able to walk upright. So Orlowsky is locked up for later torture to death.As it turns out the plans of the sheriff fail. The warden goes in to release Lozoya, and once they are in the corridor, the bandit knocks the warden out and helps Orlowsky to escape. Its no easy feat Lozoya is out of shape and when hes being given a boost up by the rear over a wall, he doesnt like it. When they run into Mary, Orlowsky presents Lozoya as El Salvador and himself as his military advisor, and a confused Lozoya just goes along with it. Later it turns out that she recognised Lozoya from the beginning, but went along with it, something that gives further credit to Orlowskys accusation that she is a journalist someone that creates an idol and then destroys him out to start an uprising just to get a story. ........
