Kit & Co. - The Spaghetti Western Database.
Kit & Co., based on two stories by Jack London, tells the story of Kit, a young adventurer who embarks on a journey through the rugged American backcountry.
So, Kit is pitched against the harsh elements of nature. But since Dean Reed is the actor that plays Kit, I had high hopes of nature winning. That guy is just annoying as hell.
Watching Dean Reed for almost 100 minutes, is definitely no pick nick. The entanglements he winds up in, are equally terrible.
After arriving at his destination Klondike, together with his new friend Shorty, Kit becomes a gambler, then is almost hanged for a crime he didn’t commit, winds up in the egg business (I kid you not) and stumbles upon gold, while trying to impress a young lady.
The episodic structure reveals events that are all dreadfully boring. When I tell you that the scene where the main character (in good Jack London tradition) fights off a dog, is probably the least bad of the film, and that it still sucks, that should tell you enough. Although I did chuckle, when Kit and Shorty discover the frozen corpse of the dog’s owner.
Kit & Co. is not the only western in the snow, but by far the worst I have encountered so far. A painful, communist, movie, with nothing remotely captivating happening. Makes any White Fang film adaptation look like a masterpiece.
