Yes, to my way of thinking is decidedly too strong⌠
Apart from the year of release, whatâs the sense of comparing Se incontri Sartana prega per la tua morte to a film of unbridled authorial ambitions (and expecting to put an end to the genre) such as Câera una volta il West by Leone?
And how many SW actors (including Klaus Kinski) âhave the same magnetic presence as Clint Eastwood or Lee Van Cleefâ?
Didnât much care for it, eh? 
sequels??
My mistake - I misread Giuliano Carnimeo as Gianfranco Parolini. Sorry. I will alter the review.
without sartana the genre will die 
not one of my best SW i ever seen but one of the best movie of every genre movie i ever seen!!!

Ra, the Sun God from Egypt, home of the brotherhood that inspired the satanic 9/11 events

ok donât worry i do it
One thing Iâll never understand is why, given how iconic a figure Sartana is, the designers of the Italian poster decided to use an image of Garko from Cowards Donât Pray instead. ???
If You Meet Sartana ⌠is a terrible film in all sorts of ways. The film-makers appear to have made the plot up as they went along. The exteriors were filmed in the same waste disposal dump as For a Dollar in the Teeth (but completely lack that filmâs gritty realism). The sets look exactly like sets. The music has some eeriely effective moments but is generally insipid and misjudged. Itâs basically a low-rent rehearsal for Sabata. But I really like it and will watch it repeatedly. Itâs not a case of it being so bad that itâs good, either (Such films usually outstay their welcome after about 10 minutes). In this case I just suspend my critical faculties and enjoy it on its own terms.
I think the main reason for this indulgence is the charisma of Sartana himself (not just Garkoâs sinister charm but the nicely emphatic actor who dubs him into English), and the eerie twist his character brings to an otherwise pointless shoot-em-up. None of the sequels work for me (and Angel of Death is the only one Iâve actually been able to sit through to the end) - not just because they make a travesty of the characterâs Grim Reaper image, but also because they lose track of what Christopher Frayling would call his âconnotationsâ (so the distinctive derringer is replaced by a standard Colt, and the beard by a blond handlebar moustache :o)
The action in the film becomes increasingly deranged (Lasky massacres his entire gang, but not to worry, hereâs another one he prepared earlier), but at least thereâs plenty of it, which adds to the appeal. And for some reason I find myself cherishing lines of dialogue like âThe gold! General Tampico will be content!â
But whatâs Sartana going to do with the gold when he finally gets it? Though he says (in the English version) that he isnât a ghost, I suspect heâs actually a curse personified, visiting judgement on everyone who tries to steal it for themselves. Thereâs discussion above about Laskyâs last line - was he going to say ghost or gravedigger? - but I always heard it as âYou are the DâŚâ - implying heâs something much more dangerous!
Well-written, well-said

The poster in question is actually the first release poster and it was designed before the film had even completed shooting. Nowadays, they would call that poster an âadvanceâ.
After the film proved a success and was âre-releasedâ the subsequent posters featured the Sartana look.
Sorry I couldnât find a better image of the Italian second release poster.
This practice of designing posters before the films had been completed was very common in Italy in the 60âs.
And this Sartana poster is just one example of how the practice created misfires.
However, you have to give them credit for at least getting an image of Garko on the thing!
That is a huge step up from what they did for this first release poster for Leoneâs A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS!
I agree that Lasky says âYou are the DâŚâ as his last line.
And I agree with your assessment that perhaps Sartana is a supernatural being that is more dangerous than a ghost.
Interesting. Always wondered why some of the posters looked so different.
He needs to fund his next movies. Good investment if you ask me.
Thanks for the great info and pictures Chris!
