‘If a man is a man, he needs
someone to believe in.’
They said that he could draw his
gun three times before the other fellow even starts reaching his own in holster.
Everybody knows about Jack Beauregard; the greatest gunslinger and the only
hope of law and order in the west but his staunch admirer cum follower young
man knows more than anybody else. He dreams of letting him face the wild bunch of
150 sons of bitches on horsebacks!
From almost silent and tense
filled opening in saloon shots to awesome climax action where one man facing
the group of 150 horsemen on railway track leading to surprising twist this is a kind of spaghetti western demands to
be watched on big wide screen. The film was of seed of Producer and Master
Sergio Leone, materialized on screen by director Tonino Valerii. The film has
fine repeat value as it combines action, comedy and fun running on screen in
equal proportions making it perfect entertainment for any age. The camaraderie
between two unlikely men different in age, mood and attitude is the worth
watching chemistry between legendary Henry Fonda and young Terence Hill.
Needless to say it has brilliant camerawork capturing fine panoramic wide shots
and slow motion action shots. Maestro Ennio Morricone’s background much
resembles to his immortal score for Leone films.
Absolutely entertaining and a
must watch for any Western fan.
Ratings-8/10
