Viewing Notes

Another solid Corbucci western with Franco Nero, who’s paired up with Tomas Milian this time and yet still has Jack Palance on his tail. Amazing. Palance is such a fun villain.

Milian and Nero have good chemistry. There’s an interview with them where Milian admits he was a difficult actor on set but it was the only way it would work to make it convincing (he is an asshole in this). Also cool to see Nero speak so warmly of Corbucci and how he made his career by making him a worldwide star.

Another one I’d like to see on the big screen.
