Audience Member 120115: Warren Oates & a good looking unknown, at least to me; Jennifer Agutter; star in this neat little spaghetti western. I absolutely love the sound of these Italian westerns, both the effects; which make it seem like the mics are attached to the characters feet; and the music. An unbelievably classic line is used in this film; "As long as I have a face, you have..." as well as an equally, unbelievably bad cowboy hat; worn by Oates' nemesis, Clayton. Enjoyed this one. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member An under appreciated, out-of-the-box western with a woman's struggle to be loved and appreciated at it's core. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The best love story I've seen in a long time.....romance isn't dead... watch this old movie from 1978 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Monte Hellman has some definite classics, such as "Two Lane Blacktop" or "Cockfighter", but he also has some weaker efforts, like "Silent Deadly Night III" and this one falls into the latter category. Although filmed in Europe, it's not exactly a spaghetti western either. I think the Sam Pechinpah cameo was my personal highlight of the film. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This was something I wanted to track down due to the history behind the film, as it's co-written by Jerry Harvey, the subject of the Z Channel documentary, a man who interested me a great deal, plus the cast and director are all top notch as well. Testi is awesome as the lead, stealing away Warren Oates young bride (the gorgeous Jenny Agutter) even as he tries not to, but what;s a man to do when she's throwing herself at him? Good little western, well worth a look, though I'd like to track down the uncut version, as this one was edited by about 10 minutes. Check it out. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member The scope photography is lovely, Sam Peckinpah has a cameo as a sleazy novelist, and Warren Oates is super cranky, but the film is a mess. There are too many cheesy sex scenes (probably at the request of the producers), the story is all-over the place, and the awkward acting by the secondary cast turns the film into a chore.
