[quote=āscherpschutter, post:60, topic:1832ā]I noticed that too (I checked Western maniac).
Have you a copy of this TV screening, or are you able to get one?[/quote]
Unfortunately I have no copy. But I have contact with some forum members from Western Maniac.
Iāll try to organize a copy. If I get a copy, Iāll give you a sign.

Please do, you would make an awful lot of people happy
I remember being really intrigued when I first watched the trailer of Starblack. Seemed like it had everything I wanted in SW. Sadly, the film didnāt meet my expectations, found it very average in fact.
Starblack is average for me, with My Name Is Pecos a notch up. But the best of the bunch mentioned is Black Jack by far, but the best of the best is El Puro .
You can think of a typical Giuliano Gemma, Anthony Steffen or Peter Lee Lawrence SW, but I find it difficult to imagine a typical Robert Woods western: for the moment Iāve only seen 6 of his 19 (!) films, and I find them very different from each other.
To my way of thinking Due once di piombo/My Name is Pecos is a satisfactory Italian-style western, Iād say
El Puro 2. My Name is Pecos 3. Black Jack (great potential and surprisingly good direction by Baldanello, but in my opinion the ending is rather unconvincing)
The only problem was that the image looked squeezed when I entered the DVD in my PC. I had to adjust it with VLC player aspect ratio mode (from default to 16:9). Might create some problems when watched on a widescreen TV too.
I picked an olā favourite (my alternative top 20) for viewing last night. It has been over 2 years since I last watched this and thought it suitable for a revisit.
I forgot that I have a fullscreen version, but I soon for the most part forgot about this and enjoyed the grittiness of this straightforward spaghetti with a racial twist.
Despite the rewatch, this still would be in my alt. top 20 - and I would fully recommend this to anybody that hasnāt seen it yet, and who like their spaghetti mean and moody.
The music at one point is, as previously mentioned, very reminiscent of House Of The Rising Sun, which was a hit 2 years earlier for The Animals - but they nicked it anyway, as it was a folk song with some heritage prior to this.
On the musical theme - Iād forgotten the bar, in a time out of joint moment, had an old horned phonograph that played a flat disc - something that was not invented in Pecoās era - but at least it didnāt play the afore-mentioned hit.
Just watched this through the WE DVD (blu ray player wasnāt at hand) and Iāve gotta say, this was pretty solid. Much better than my expectations! The strong colors and good sound quality of the disc didnāt hurt either!
I concur - watched the very fine Koch release. I liked Pecos a lot. I donāt know if intended or not but in the age of the western hegemony among the so called Third Countries, a Mexican hero called Pecos (although named Jonny Madoc in the German dubbed version) gives a lot of positive identification for African, Arabian or South-American movie watchers. The flick can be seen as a political statement against western domination.
The DB has the roles of Cristina Iosani (Nina) and Corinne Fontaine (Lola) reversed for the English dub. My question is which role is Esther (Italian dub? Ester or Esther?)? Is she attached to Iosani (Esther/Nina) or Fontaine (Esther/Lola)?
