Must have missed that, or I wasnât thinking about the movie when this was released (third possibility: I often buy from CINE CITY, maybe he didnât offer this).
Anyway, 40 bucks is too much for one movie

Django il Bastardo (1969, Garrone)
Still probably more an interesting than a really good spaghetti western, but at least one that holds your attention when youâre watching it for (in my case) third time.
Actually it got better with each viewing. I saw it in cinema on a late night showing somewhere in the '70s and didnât like it. I thought it was slow and above all static. I rewatched it for the article Ghosts and Avengers, and thought it was a decent, if not a great movie, with good atmosphere. I now think itâs very decent and very atmospheric. Problem is that it doesnât create enough tension and excitement out this great atmosphere.
Needed a better director?
I guess so. There was a lot more in it, and the actors werenât to blame. Even Steffen is good here, and some of the others, Rossi, Goslino, Rassimov, are excellent.
Maybe (especially in the flashback scene), but changing the director you inevitably lose some of the atmosphere and some interesting stylistic solutions.
Needed a higher budget, but if the film had been maintained on the level of its best sequences weâd be talking about an exceptional SW.
Not to mention that this subject seems to be particularly congenial to the author: in fact the film is a variation from a revenge point of view on a theme already present in the directorâs previous film Tre croci per non morire, in which, also thanks to Ken Woodâs monolithic, impenetrable expression, the ending is enigmatic as Mona Lisaâs smile. To understand it - and the title - better I think that the lyrics reported by scherpschutter in the initial post of the Ballata per un pistolero/Pistoleros thread might be useful.
But on this last point I already know Stanton will not agree⌠
Those lyrics are:
Do not weep for the dead, who lie there, lifelessly
But for those who kill them
Cause they will be lifeless forever, eternally
Dawn At Socorro, 1954⌠Rory Calhoun is a gunfighter/gambler/musician/etc. who gets critically wounded during a feud with Lee Van Cleefâs clan, then discovers heâs dying of tuberculosis. So he ventures âout westâ to change his life. Enter: the spacious sky-vistas of New Mexico-territory, which most of the film is shot against. Of course, someone recognizes Calhoun and squeals-to the clan⌠as other baddies begin circling like vultures. The script is logical and weaves the tuberculosis-angle in and out deftly, so I wasnât reminded of films like My Darling Clementine, etc., with their âcoughingâ Doc Holiday-characters. The gunfight-action is logical too, solidly directed by George Sherman. Above-averagely satisfying.
âDuel At Diabloâ (1966)
-James Garner, Sidney Poitier
Plot: IMDB
Lieutenant McAllister is ordered to transport several ammunition wagons to another fort through Apache territory with only a small troop of rookie soldiers to guard them. Along for the ride is ex-scout Jess Remsberg who is trying to track down Ellen Grange, who, having recently been freed from Apache captivity, has mysteriously run off again to rejoin them. Remsberg frees Ellen again and leaves her with the embattled soldiers as he rides off to the fort, not only for help, but to find the man who killed and scalped his Indian wife.
Phantomâs Review: Terrific, action packed western adventure. The film has a tough, realistic feel to itâs action scenes, but also has some excellent dialogue and some very dramatic moments. Garner and Poitier are both excellent. If your in the mood for a solid well made western film, this is a good choice.
Soldier Blue
-Didnât like it very much. First part of the film is kinda lame desert survival stuff with romantic twist and the ending feels like a totally different film with itâs graphically violent indian war. The whole film changes to so over-the-top exploitation at that point that I couldnât take it seriously.
Holy Ghost and the Five Magnificent Scoundrels.
Holy Ghost is hired to track down a masked bandit. He needs the help of some pals though, and most of the film seems to be getting the men together. Not really sure why Holy Ghost needed their help, but you would not probably not have a film otherwise. Film really just coasts along till a couple of double crosses near the end of the film. Interesting flashback makes you think the film is going to go down the very silly comedy 70âs Spaghetti western route. Not as good as the first Roberto Mauri Holy Ghost film.

I was supposed to watch Treasure of Silver Lake yesterday but the discs on my Winnetou box had been printed with wrong names so I watched this one instead. I think it was enjoyable enough as long as you donât take it too seriously. Thereâs wrestling with fake bear, dynamite throwing with catapult and other funny stuff. Good cast for spaghetti western fan including Kinski and young Terence Hill.

They had a real bear, but Brice scared off in the last minute, so somebody had to wear a bear suit.
