Viewing Notes

RIP Ennio Morricone

To celebrate the life of Il Maestro who we learned left us last night, I decided to go with a spaghetti western I haven’t seen in while. Didn’t realize it has been 14 years but this was back when I was rented DVDs from Netflix and catching up on many spaghetti westerns I hadn’t seen.

I really love the score to this and it manages the tonal shifts between humor and seriousness as well as the sweeping orchestral pieces that mirror the story: the aging gunfighter going out with one last hurrah to make him legendary.

Pairing the older Henry Fonda with the younger Terrence Hill works because they compliment each other both in attitude and style. I really like this movie and it’s a fun one to revisit.
