Yeah, Irons was great in this one. The other actors also.
Mackennaâs Gold, not very good imo, disappointing for an Edward G Robinson fan.
Shotgun (Roberto Mauri)
Good and mean low budget Spaghetti vengeance flick. Tab Hunter was quite good, I thought, in his role as the avenger. He is a little soft spoken but it suits him. Kind of slow in the ifrst half but much more action in the second. Also liked the episodic structure, as usual. Also, I noticed John Phillip Lawâs vest on Tab Hunter here.
Cheyenne Autumn - Wasnât very impressed with Fords last Western, very slow⌠I liked the Jimmy Stewart Wyatt Earp scene in the middle (I know alot of people hate this part as Jimmy is nothing like Earp). I didnât even recognize Gilbert Roland who was nominated for a golden globe for his role.
The Wyatt Earp part is maybe the best of the film, but does not make much sense for the film, which probably is the reason why I think it is the best part.
Blood Calls to Blood 1968
An OK time filler with a couple of highlights which made it worth while. Fernando Sancho does his usual stuff and there is a pretty good catfight that mostly consists of the good girl ripping the dress off the bad one. 
De Masiâs score sounded very familiar in places but I canât place where Iâve heard it before. Itâll come to me eventually.
Forgot this one was made in 1968, could have mistaken it for a couple of years earlier.
I really like it - beautiful cinematography. I too enjoy the Wyatt Earp part, but it belongs to another film.
I saw Pursued (1947) yesterday. An excellent noir Western, with Robert Mitchum in top form, laconic as always. Very good direction, photography and music make this a winner.

However, there is an Entrâ Acte. Apparently, Ford didnât want people to leave the theatre for anything which an intermission would allow.
Noir Western?
He he , here we have it again, it really seems to happen more often.
It has a very stylish, very noirish photography. There are also a few crime aspects.
And it is build around some psychological theories, without becoming a âpsychologicalâ western (like many in the late 50s).
Damn, Iâll have to change it to keep face ;).
And I quite agree, Pursued has great photgraphy.
More Dollars for the MacGregors (Jose Luis Moreno)
Iâd have to disagree with Stanton on this one. It had potential but the complete lack of plot coherence, unlikeable characters, and drastically uninspired music ruined any possibilities of my enjoyment. But I would say that Boldest Job in the West is a hidden gem. 
I liked the music, scenography and leopardo poncho (from Requiem For A Gringo), but nothing else really. But Carlos Quiney was quite good.
I hated the music. It was very ineffective.
Texas Adio - Baldi
Posse from Hell (1961, H. Coleman)
The opening is fantastic; mean and moody. One of the best openings in a western, introducing the vile gang that is to be hunted for the rest of the film.
The rest is very solid stuff. Tough and to the point, not much sentimental stuff going on (only a bit at the end).
Van Cleef steals the first scene, but thatâs about it as far as his part is concerned. Audie Murphy is good, and so is John Saxon. Vic Morrow is a great psycho villain.
Some dialog (Murphy to Saxon who doesnât want to join the posse initially):
M (cynical manner): "âŚso you can go back to your tea parties"
S (serious manner): âand coctail parties!â ;D
Really funny is the scene where Murphy looks after Saxonâs ass wound. Just hilarious.
Recommended to you spaghetti heads, if only for the great first 8 minutes. Overall 7/10
[size=12pt]Valdez is Coming[/size]
Not a bad western, actually quite a good one, but couldâve been even better
Good story-telling, nice anti-climactic finale, but tries too hard to be a âmessage movieâ , a sort of Hollywood Sollima.
Saw that itâs listed here (itâs one of those Hollywood products shot in Spain), so Iâm working on a small review
Vengeance is Mine
Superb western! It is melodramatic, but I think it works perfectly well that way. Probably works better than if they tried to do the movie in a âstraight spaghettiâ fashion. The cast is uniformly excellent, the music is fantastic, at times very violent and hard to watch and at times very touching and sad. Pitch perfect ending.
Right now, Iâd give it the number 8 spot on my top 10.
