Nick F Spaghetti Westerns can vary greatly in quality, but the 1967 offering Day Of Anger is certainly one of the better ones. It stars the always-reliable Lee Van Cleef as troubled gunman Frank Talbot, journeying to a remote town to catch up with former partner Wild Jack who owes him 50,000 dollars. On the way, Talbot sees a young man (Giuliano Gemma) being beaten up, so intervenes, killing the bully and unintentionally becoming the hero of the young man, who then tags along with Talbot on his mission of vengeance through dusty sun-bleached trails and towns and encountering various bizarre characters. Directed and co-scripted by Tonino Valerii – who worked with the great Western director Serge Leone who gave us several stand-out Clint Eastwood films – this Italian production has an engaging and unpredictable plot, so it always holds your attention. The frequent gunplay is well-staged and tension mounts as gradually, Talbot realises that his young protégé is turning into a deadly version of himself. Day Of Anger is an engrossing film with an inventive storyline, assured directing and strong performances. The only mild criticism is that the vocal dubbing can – as often the case with spaghetti Westerns – be sometimes unintentionally amusing! REVIEWED by Nick Fletcher.
