C S Aug 22 One of the greatest Spaghetti Westerns. See more 02/26/2019 One of the best Westerns ever made and a fantastic allegory for the rise of fascism. Jean Maria Volonte's best work. See more 01/23/2016 There was Sergio Leonne, Sergio Corbucci, and Sergio Sollima. All three directed Italian Westerns (Spaghetti Westerns). Sollima directed this film that has some political undertones. Tubercular history Professor Brad Fletcher (Gian Maria Volonte) head to the American Southwest (played by the Alameria desert in Spain) and encounters notorious outlaw Solomon Bennett AKA Beauregard. The two men eventually become friends and Fletcher joins Beauregard's gang. A funny thing happens, Fletcher becomes more violent and less civilized while Beauregard begins to question his violent ways. William Berger, the sole Yank in the cast, plays Charley Siringo, an undercover Pinkerton's man who infiltrates the gang. Once Beauregard is captured, the smarter and now totally amoral Fletcher takes over the "Hole-in-the-Wall" type refuge and imposes an almost fascistic rule over the dropouts and misfits their while he dreams of changing history with a an army of outlaws. Its a very entertaining example of the Spaghetti E=Western at the height of the genre's creative peak and the performances are excellent and the film is well shot, capturing the dust and grime of the desert. Ennio Morricone did the soundtrack. See more 07/03/2013 Due to health reasons a sick professor moves to the west and becomes involved with a gang of outlaws.
