A Rope for a Bastard / Una forca per un bastardo (Amasi Damiani, 1968)


Hi,
What do you think of this western ?
For me, he looks more like an US Western as an IW. And sometimes a little bit boring.
But the music was pretty good !!
For me 5,5 / 10

Waiting for some kind soul to do some fansubs :slight_smile: .

There are english subs available now. They’re autotranslated but good enough for to understand the otherwise talky film. pm me if you’re interested.

Yes, very talky film !

Ha, ha thought it was an old photo of James Mason at first !

Another role for Francesco De Leone here as Jerry the mailman (2 pics above), credited here as Francesco M. De Leoni.

Lemmy Carson is credited in Heroes Without Glory (1971), Frankenstein '80 (1972), the western Vendetta per vendetta (1968)

and on the posters for this film (see first post above), but Lemmy Carson isn’t credited on screen so he should be one of the unknowns. Unknown credits are for Leo De Ny, Nicola Giarmoleo and Franco Lo Verde. Nicola Giarmoleo’s only other credit is in the quasi-documentary Silvia e l’amore. In this film the 2 stars (Angelo Infanti, Annamaria Rosati) are credited before the title and only 5 are credited after.

Ugo Adinolfi is Infanti’s best friend along with this blond guy who is Lemmy Carson! who appear throughout the film,

so Nicola Giarmoleo must = Lemmy Carson. The man who confronts the lynch mob and stops them from hanging the stranger looks to fit the bill.

Good job, as usual. On posters Francesco is credited with the correct surname ending in -e.
The contemporary presence in the credits on screen of De Leo-ni and Leo De Ny is certainly rather bizarre!

Leo De Ny is credited as writer in the above-mentioned I giardini del diavolo/Heroes Without Glory (1971), the other unknown performer Franco Lo Verde is also present in the war drama Rose rosse per il Führer (1968).
