His life is mine - One of the most boring eurowesterns I’ve seen, and Reed’s character is annoying.
Adios Sabata - Great western, and Reed’s character is amusing.
He was an interesting person though. An american who grew very dissapointed with his homeland and became a communist. He lived in East Germany when he died.
Hey,I never realized that the singer and the actor are the same persons. I don´t know much about him,but I think there will be made a movie soon. Reed´s character played by Tom Hanks.
It might have been mentioned before somewhere, but there’s an interesting book by Reggie Nadelson called ‘Comrade Rockstar’. She “followed his ghost” to Moscow and beyond, trying to find out the truth about him becoming a “Cold War Cowboy”, and of his ‘mysterious’ death. I picked up a paperback of it, literally for pennies, on amazon. It looks like there’s a few different covers, but the one I’ve got is shown below. (She was originally hired to write a film, so maybe they’re linked?)

I have notes from a friend who saw SING COWBOY SING 1981 and this was directed by
Dean Reed , starred Dean Reed with Vaclav Nekar and was a comedy :’( “western”.
It was ok but totally inferior compared to DEAN REED’s 1960s superb SWs.
The other tiltles I have not seen but don’t really rate too much as I like his 1960s Films.
Others may like them :o Dean Reed’s Big song from 1978 “Cindy” was very catchy.
