I have the Italian dvd as well. Pretty easy to follow in Italian, with the Italian subs.
Well, the subs are rather quick, some are only visisble for a few seconds
But the language isnāt exactly Dante proof, so to speak; I activated the subs, but didnāt really need them, I think there was only one word used I didnāt know (havenāt yet looked it up)
Little Moon and Jud Mcgraw.
Drifter played by James Caan teams up with a very odd Indian woman. They fight the bad guys in some different ways, like building three large catapults which fire large rocks.
Little character development in this strange film, which has many failed attempts at black comedy.
about 30 min into Mannaja at the momentā¦what is this? Keoma pt 2? kiddingā¦but there are some similarities im noticingā¦mainly the theme, the look of the guy, the townā¦all in all im enjoying it so far
Just Saw Chucka (1967) in TV (Hollywood Channel), and Iām happy I did it, this is a very good western from the same director of Barquero and Nevada Smith, I had some glances at this film before but only todday I watch it from the start.
Rod Taylor may not me the most gifted actor but he as the flair of always look perfect for his parts, and he was called by Tarentino to the line of duty ;D so his cool alright .
Being made like a classic western itās possible to see some SW influencies, the director tried, in my point of view, to do a classical western with a somehow diferent storyline put in the usual environment for classical Westerns (indians, a surrounded fort etc).
Borgnine and Mills go along very good doing their parts, and we have the bonus of the presence from two Beautiful Ladies Vetri, but mainly Luciana Paluzzi a very very pretty actress, who looked so well in all her films
When you think you got it all coverā¦ you donāt, will try to find this one to my Western collection, to put side by side with Barquero and Nevada Smith
Nevada Smith was directed by Henry Hathaway
Yap confusion with another TV made film also called Nevada Smith with Adam West just checked out in Imdb
Thankās Staton
Btw, imo the best films of Gordon Douglas are Rio Conchos and The Gold of the 7 Saints, both made in the early 60s. Followed by Chuka, Yellowstone Kelly and Barquero.
The rest of his huge western output is not that impressive. He directed 15 westerns between 1949 and 1970.
Django the Last Killer was viewed last night. Solid.

-cheap production and quite weird film with some horror influences, mostly shot indoors.
Sounds interesting, and Rosalba Neri is starring which can never be a bad thing!
Sound interesting, but is pretty bad, and the acting is often very bad too.
[quote=āStanton, post:7012, topic:141ā]Sound interesting, but is pretty bad, and the acting is often very bad too.[/quote]Yes, below average stuff. Version I saw looked heavily cut which didnāt help. btw, did you get the ending, stanton? I didnāt understand the child thing. Why was he indian? Who the father was supposed to be? Or does it really matter?
I donāt remember.
I remember a few ridiculous looking bad scenes with Indians. Some of them were most likely shot with other actors, which donāt fit.
The Outlaw (Howard Hughes)
Aside from Jane Russell and Gregg Tolandās camera work, there is nothing to recommend in this piece of garbage. A big budget B picture that is incredibly stupid and inacurate. The fact that historic and well known character such as Billy the Kid and Doc Holliday are used as characters is really stupid. Since this has nothing to do with their actual stories. They are just characters in a poorly made and plotless exploitation piece.
Sorry, that you didnāt liked it Korano. Iām surprissed that ypou think so bad of it.
I havenāt seen The Outlaw for ages, but I remember it as an unusual western with elements of parody and grotesqueness. And it was seen as a comment on the usual sexual politics in westerns. All this made The Outlaw one of the most important westerns of the 40s.
Of course the famous names of Pat Garrett, Billy the Kid and Doc Holiday are used apart from their typical mythological meaning.

Iām with Korano on this one. As nice as Miss Russellās breasts surely are they are not sufficient to build an entire film around. Itās a poor effort and canāt agree it was one of the most important westerns from the 40s.
Havenāt been staring at thos starring breast for ages, would be a bad idea to ā¦
Accuracy certainly isnāt an issue here, although I suppose she didnāt use implants, only a special bra
Grayeagle.
Ben Johnsonās daughter is kidnapped by an Indian, and so begins his search for his daughter. Old fashioned western in style for a late 70ās entry, but very nice looking film. Jack Elam steals the show as a trapper.

Jane Russelās breasts, always under her blouse, are from a modern point of view not very impressive. I think the film has more to offer than this.
A German DVD was just released. Maybe Iāll try to get it.
