TRUE!
Unfortunately I found Spiros Focas absolutely unbearable. Maybe Iāll give it another try some day but Iām not rushing it.
I also remember that the film was extremely āwellā lit, so every person had four shadows in sunny daylight when crossing the street, for example. Iām pretty peculiar about that, Iām sure, but this really puts me off when itās super visible. It has this TV show look of Gunsmoke or Bonanza and in my humble opinion movies should not look that way. ![]()
Yeah, I did not care for it either. It all just felt a bit lame to me.
Frank and Eastman were great as were the gladiator-style duels with a metal 2 pronged gauntlet and and wooden hand guard. Also liked the Eastman torture scene. But otherwise, this was quite poor. The first 20m before Frank appeared looked like a Hollywood TV western. The hero was one of the blandest Iāve seen in an Italian western and the little boy couldnāt act at all and was terrible. Nicoletta looked as if she wanted to be somewhere else (as someone has already mentioned). Some of it also didnāt make sense - for example, the bad guys told the hero he had to free Eastman from the sheriff but in the next scene they are freeing him from the sheriff.
Who plays the comedy undertaker?
Database says Robby Poitevin, the filmās composer but the Italian film archive and Wikipedia Italy state that the actor hiding under the alias āRobert Riceā is Roberto Risso.
