Can I ask who the producer is of this film.
No-one is credited as producer but:
(a) The Arrow Blu Ray booklet, written by Howard Hughes, claims it is Alexander Hacohen, who also produced Black Jack
(b) This SWDB database entry clams it is Gino Rossi, someone whose name I cannot find on an internet search
(c) the Italian wikipedia entry claims it is Fabrizio Gianni
Any other takers?
Greetings everyone! Been gone quite a while, but I have returned to this awesome forum. Never stopped watching spaghettis, but long story short life got in the way of me spending much time online. Glad to be back!
Anyways, I just rewatched El Puro, and in good quality for the first time thanks to the Savage Guns box. Still one of the best spaghettis I’ve ever seen, when I get an updated top 20 together it’ll definitely be in my top 10. I’m not very familiar with Mulargia outside of this one, do any of his other films even approach El Puro in quality?
Not really. Here’s some discussion & rating about Mulargia’s films.
Not really, El puro was a not expected surprise for me after having watched most of the then better known Mulargias.
But another not so well known one who has some style is Go with God, Gringo. His 2nd best for me.
From the rest Don’t Wait, Django…Shoot! and maybe Why Go on Killing?.
The only really bad one is Brother Outlaw, a fidanesque genre entry.
I forgot about Shango, I have seen that one. I found it pretty mediocre, I’ve never really liked Steffen in anything
I rate and rank them like this, but I obviously have a wide 7/10 rating category since El Puro has so much more depth and overall quality (thanks to Robert Woods own contribution to the story ?) including the main musical theme by Alessandro Alessandroni , than the second and third Mulargia directed, but I enjoy these anyhow mostly for their style and music by Di Stefano. Chamango suffers from the overdramatic child sequenses.
12 El Puro (8/10)
42 Don’t Wait Django… Shoot! (Edoardo Mulargia) music Felice Di Stefano 1967 (7/10)
43 Go With God, Gringo (Edoardo Mulargia) music Felice Di Stefano 1966 (7/10)
67 Cjamango (Edoardo Mulargia) music Felice Di Stefano 1967 (6/10)
I appreciate the feedback! I’ll give Go With God, Gringo & Don’t Wait Django a try soon.
