Not viewed this in years as had bad memories re this one. Even viewed a decent widescreen version this time round. This is one silly film, and actually did not mind it on the whole. But I have been in a silly mood recently so that may be why 
. Love to know what Tomas Milian thinks of his role in this now. Wallach had aged since his Tuco role, but he was no spring chicken when he made this. And of course he is still with us which is great of course.
Have been reading (or rather poorly guessing my way on the basis of Spanish) through Giusti this holiday period. Just noticed that Giusti actually transcribes this scene in his discussion of the film.
Decided to give this one a watch, I had avoided for years. Well, it was a big mistake and complete waste of time. By far the worst S.W. that iāve seen. I can tolerate some comedy aspects in westerns, but the stupid slapstick antics in this was so bad that i didnāt even laugh once. I didnāt have any beers at the time :o, but i donāt think it would have helped anyways. A big F on this one.
No beers is hard work in this one 
The first two sequences look promising, the instrumental variation on the theme song is beautiful, the empty town with all male citizens behind bars (!) is not a bad idea and the ending is passable.
Thumbs-down for everything else.
That is true.
This is certainly the worst SW with Gemma and in all probability the worst from Corbucci (I still have to watch Che cāentriamo noi con la rivoluzione?).

Excellent work on The Soliloquy scherp, but you have missed this one

So the correct translation becomes:
āAnd you, stop behaving like a Beast!ā

Il nome Cicciolina, nacque ufficialmente attraverso un programma radiofonico notturno di Radio Luna dal titolo āVoulez-vous coucher avec moi?ā. Durante le trasmissioni chiamavo tutti gli ascoltatori āciccioliniā. La prima puntata risale al 30 ottobre 1975.
The red-headed saloon girl does the same with Eli Wallach! The film was completed in December 1974 and released in mid-January, soā¦

Thanks Jonathan
My favourite scene is where Swiss convinces Black Jack to open the booby-trapped treasure chest, but Black Jack is so drunk he canāt remember which lock to open. He even tries playing Eenie meenie miney mo with the locks.
Swiss: Wait! Are you sure?
Black Jack: Sure? No.
Swiss then leaves a whimpering Black Jack to curse his own forgetfulness.

I think that Wallach and Gemma are the best things about it.

This film feels like a chaotic fever dream and is a mess, but I laughed at some of the scenes, so it wasnāt all bad. I think Milian looks creepy and is totally politically incorrect though 
Anyway, I wanted to make an appreciation post for the pony. Here it is:

If itās a choice between the acting genius of Tomas Milian, or the absurdity of āPolitical Correctnessā, Iāll take Milian every timeā¦

Must admit that I do agree with that sentiment, Phil. Itās been years since I last watched it, and I donāt recall being particularly impressed with it. I need to dig it out and watch it again soonā¦
Itās not the finest moment for Milian, Gemma, Wallach, or director, Sergio Corbucciā¦
My original gripe was more against Political Correctness, than anything elseā¦

I watched this yesterday with low expectations and because of that I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. Obviously itās a below average film with a silly story and some ridiculous moments, but I went along with it 4/10. Would be interesting to know how much Gemma, Milian and Wallach got paid for this film

Regardless of how much ābad pressā this film gets here at SWDB, it will be interesting to see how many buy, nay, pre-order the inevitable Blu Ray release ???
