No, I have not seen this film.
But, now you have mentioned another title to the film, I do recall it is on my wish list of films I want.
You have described well, and sounds my kind of film, with two very good actors in, so thanks for the info.
Well, Silver nice speaking to you as always, but I did not realise it was so late, as I had better get my beauty sleep.
Keep up the good work anyway watching all these films, and ADIOS for now.
Same to you 
I’ll probably be here for hours yet, being a chronic insomniac >:(
Cain’s cutthroats
“Clumsy Hands” Ok, it may not be one of the best films out there but i do like it’s relentlessly downbeat tone, and the fact that no-one gets a happy ending 
Actually i have a French poster for this somewhere, and it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the film; in fact, the guy pictured looks like Anthony Steffen ???
“The Proposition”
A lawman apprehends a notorious outlaw and gives him 9 days to kill his older brother, or else they’ll execute his younger brother.
One of the dullest films I have ever seen.
“Rio Grande”
A true classic

Could not agree more about THE PROPOSITION.
One hell of an overated film, like watching paint dry.
Death Hunt with Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin.
This is a film not many people I know speak about.
It is one of the best westerns of the 80’s and is one of Charles Bronson’s last best films of his career.
Its gritty, good scenery, violent, good actors , a good pace to the film and perhaps most of all entertaining to a very high level, which some westerns made in more recent times seem to be lacking in this area.
Charles Bronson I feel was sometimes at his very best in parts with little dialogue, and this film is no exception.
His roles in Chato’s Land (although I know this divides people) and of course Once Upon A Time In The West spring to mind.
Death Hunt is worthy viewing.
i watched “FORT YUMA GOLD” as my wild east dvd turned up last week, quite enjoyable but Gemma has made a lot more better films
For our wedding Anniversary, my wife gave me Season Two of “The Wild Wild West”. so that’s what I’ll be watching this week.
Decision at Sundown, directed by Budd Boetticher. (some spoilers hereafter) A pretty unconventional western with Randolph Scott as a guy who wants revenge on the man who he thinks murdered his wife. This supposed killer is the town bully of Sundown, so most people are glad to see Scott. But it turns out that the guy had nothing to do with death of is wife. Scott waited 3 years for revenge, so he’s pissed he has no reason to kill the guy. Pretty unsatisfying for him, and for me as a viewer. But at least the town folk are happy because the bully is chased out of town. This was on WDR, and that channel will air Boetticher’s Buchanan Rides Alone next tuesday. Though Decision at Sundown didn’t quite do it for me, I am curious and will be watching next week as well.
watched “MATALO” this afternoon.
Not you average western, quite a strange film but very watchable.
Rewatched fistfull of dollars with a friend. I had to introduce him to the spaghettis. He said it reminded him of the lucky luke. Clint is as quick on the draw as him. The film is just great, anybody knows the mentioned comics. I loved them in my childhood.
I recently bought a couple of films from exploited and watched them yesterday. First up was “The Man From Nowhere” (Arizona Colt), which i bought out of curiosity really, because, although i do have the soundtrack to one of them, i have never actually seen any of Giuiliano Gemma’s films. Mainly because i heard a lot of things from other people about him being too clean cut or irritating, or that the films were too much like US westerns Anyway, i was pleasantly surprised, and although there were some slow parts, it was enjoyable overall. His character was a little irritating but it was good to see that he got some comeuppance for his cockiness a few times. Also the amount of familiar faces in the supporting cast was good. The only bad thing was the picture and sound quality. Quite often the ends of sentences were missing, and the picture would jump. It was also really scratchy and grainy, and there was an annoying mark that kept travelling up the left hand side of the picture every five seconds or so. I think it’s good that Wild East are releasing a lot of rare westerns but i wish they could find and use better source materials; also the image quality always looks a little “soft”, almost blurry. Language options would be nice too, but i guess something is better than nothing!
Secondly i got “Death Sentence” and found that to be much more intriguing. In fact i liked pretty much everything about this film; the performances, the music, the set pieces with each of the men the hero was tracking down. I did like the fact that he wasn’t much better than the men he was after, and that his brother had been a cheating criminal in the first place…and that gaining his revenge didn’t seem to bring a whole lot of relief with it. Tomas Milian really impressed me in this one too. I have always thought that he sometimes has a tendency to overact shamelessly and that given the weird character he was playing that he might do so here, but i thought he gave quite a subtle performance, and it’s just a shame that he didn’t have more time on screen.
So, overall two good buys, and i might get some more Gemma films…(though a few of them seem to be really expensive for some reason)…maybe Day Of Anger, while it’s still actually available…
I got Wild East’s “Day Of Anger” a short time ago, the print is really good, I do have some problems with the quality of the disc’s pressing though. Even though the DVD was factory sealed there was a scratch on it, there are quite a few glitches that appear when played on my DVD player, these disappear when played on my laptop however on this the disc skips. I decided to keep the disc as they’re in short supply and I read a similar comment on Amazon about its quality. Does anyone else have problems with this DVD?

Yes, I had this problem aswell.
In the end I had to make a back up copy for my own use, and this now plays fine.
Well just saw once upon a time in mexico by Rodriguez. The whole Mariachi trilogy could be seen as a modern western, and has a spaghetti feel to it. And of course it is inspired by the dollar trilogy. I like el mariachi especially because it was done only for a fistfull of dollars. The last one is a bit overdone. Even it is off topic how you like the el mariachi trilogy. The connection could be that rodriguez was inspired by leone.
“El Dorado”
-John Wayne
A great movie
Valenciano: many directors has been inspired by Sergio Leone, how you said… Rodriguez, and Tarantino too.
The last wester i watched was… Tepepa, just a few scenes.
Adios.
Crea: On the Third Day Arrived the Crow
-oh man, this film is crap! Few scenes with William Berger were fine but otherwise it’s just terrible. Basically there’s no any plot in the film, half the film it’s Hill & Spencer style comedy, other half is serious (or tries to be). But still they couldn’t make more than 65 minutes of film so they’ve added a long scene from another Crea film in the end to make it longer.
“Blood At Sundown” with Anthony Steffen and Gianni Garko. Not a bad film; and i like to see Garko playing villains. Anthony Steffen’s pained expression works well in this one since everybody seems to have it in for him, even his own mother! The only bad things are the darkness of the print, and the really OTT acting of the guy playing the mute brother
