Quinto: Fighting Proud / El valor de un cobarde / Quinto: non ammazzare (León Klimovsky, 1969)

Copied from the Spagvemberfest 2022 thread:

I just watched this one again.
If someone could update the main page: Quinto: non ammazzare

At least some of the “filming locations” were set at:

Ciempozuelos
Colmenar Viejo

Thanks,

Little whodunit gem with a memorable intro (bank robbery with robbers disguised in creepy kkk masks) and thrilling flashbacks in black and white.

The direction is rather average but it is well written and there is an amazing performace by charismatic Germán Cobos as Sucre who reminded me of Sean Connery.

If you liked Shoot the Living, Pray for the Dead, you will likely like even this. The conception of the two movies is very similar. Recommended. 4/5

Mildly amusing but a typically slipshod Klimovsky effort with poor choreography and continuity errors (watch the scars on Tedd’s face appear and disappear). As well as a plot which did not really make sense (why did a guy who has stolen the money rendezvous back with the others in the way station rather than killing the two he was with after they split up and then scarpering - he didn’t seem to be even trying to kill the others at the way station). The Hateful Eight influence anyone (?) although it’s a little obscure - Weisser calls it a lost film so at least he doesn’t make any mistakes in that entry - and Tarantino probably never saw it,

Sarah Ross was the main attention getter for me acting like someone in a 1950s Roger Corman juvenile delinquency movie. Willing to sleep with and kill anyone to get rich. Does anyone know her real name as it is almost certainly not that.

Interesting that top billed ‘Steven Tedd’ (not to be confused with ‘Sean Todd’) was basically just a red herring character. The twist that German Cobos was the bounty killer did catch me by surprise as I was expecting it to be Tedd, Raf Baldassarre was billed prominently in the posters and credits yet lasted about thirty seconds. Moonlighting for a couple of hours one afternoon I guess when he was in the middle of something else (Garringo?) and negotiated a good deal for the billing.

I saw the WE DVD - double bill with La Belva. The reels were in the correct order! Running time 93m20s.
