Stanton, Rossi has a lot of SW credits as you mentioned. I scanned thru several. I really donāt think Dean Light is Rossi. I think all the lower facial features are different, plus his build is different. Rossi is a really skinny dude. In The Forgotten Pistolero he looks almost unhealthy. Dean has a more average build. I can post some screens if you like.
Danovi is really obscure, not many credits at all (doesnāt the c.s.c. mean heās a stuntman or something?). However Palmucci has appeared in a few international productions. Looking at his filmography you see lots of SW regulars in his films. I found a couple of pics for his role as Jack with Brando in Burn. I would lean towards Palmucci. I donāt kow how reliable this DB is, but this looks like it could be the same guy to me.
Yeah, I think I was as sure as I was wrong.
It is indeed a typical Luciano Rossi or Rick Boyd role, but this Rossi lookalike is not Rossi
(nor is it Boyd )
Hey, sorry to be late to this film, but does anyone know anywhere I can purchase the OOP Wild East DVD and not the Mark Damon double feature one that came out this year, as I just would like to own this film alone? Thanks.
From November 1965 to June 1975 at least two members of cast (actors or technicians) had to be holders of a Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia diploma.
An interesting, if very weird, film. I like it more now after a second viewing. Iāve never seen Damon better-- up there with Johnny Yuma as his 2 best.
The setting of the fort (according to the map in the film) would be present-day Cotulla, Texas, a small town founded by Polish immigrants. And I think that the conflict depicted was a genuine, historical one, something not always seen in a SW. After Texasā independence many of the Spanish/Mexican landowners (holding old land grants) were dispossessed by the Texans (gringos). A real injustice, especially considering that so many of the Texas patriots were ethnically Mexican-- Juan Seguin, Jose Navarro. That occurred well before the Civil War.
Lizzani and Pasolini turned it into a ācommunistā struggle, but what the heck. Iāve never before seen a film like this, so it doesnāt bother me.
I havenāt double-dipped yet, so watched the old WE version again last night.
Such an enjoyable film and Damonās best role. I was also thrilled to see the fake cactus that reappears 4 years later in Dead Men Donāt Make Shadows (and which can be seen in the background of one of the shots I stuck on the DMDMS thread).
Due to my inability to do screen captures anymore, and as Iām sure youāll want to check it out - it pops up outside the old fort at around the 1.06/.07 mark - joy!
Ooooh - just reading back on this thread and have noticed another one of the reappearing placcy-cactii in the background of one of the Strangerās screengrabs on page 3. Gotta find me some more films that have these supporting psuedo-succulents and sham-saguaro. I love 'em.
While the fake cactus went mostly unnoticed in Requiescant, in the Fidani the cactus (to its own surprise) got at least praise for the most lively acting in the film. (Still uncredited in both films)
Try some of the Winnetou films. I recall thereās some good shots with a single cactus in the foreground of an otherwise cactus free landscapeā¦ I canāt find any pictures right this second though.
Found them! Thereās a load in the first 5 or 10 minutes of āDer Schatz im Silberseeā, and as far as I can tell none for the rest of the film (I only had a quick look though) so I guess they blew their budget with that spectacular display.

Pilar and Marta are two different characters: the first is played by Corinne Fontaine (uncredited, the pic on the right is from Due once di piombo/My Name Is Pecos), the second is a minor character played by Lorenza Guerrieri (the fourth picture is from O tutto o niente/A Man Called Amen).
Great to see you back Jonathon. For some reason I thought the female member (Pilar) of Juanās group was played by Lorenza Guerrieri. Thanks for the info and correction. Iāll go stand in the corner now (if I can get up).
Watched this yesterday, and I really enjoyed it. It definitely has its charm, and I donāt mind that it lacks some logic senseā¦ I think the religious parts make the movie quite original, and creates a certain other-worldly vibe. And the women in this film are quite beautiful as well!
I watched the Wild East disc a few months back. I enjoyed the film, but I thought it couldāve been better. Maybe it was Lou Castel in the lead. Mark Damon was incredible though.
