Terry Staunton Radio Times Crenna is a solid presence as the man in search of his memories, but perhaps lacks the charisma to be a truly convincing hero. Rated: 3/5 May 9, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

SICKS6SIX Good film. better than most Western films. worth watching. Cross between a spaghetti western and a John Ford western. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/18/22 Full Review Audience Member Better than boring longer dialogue-oriented movies!! WESTERN movies are always ACTION packed!! EXAMPLE-- "PURGATORY", "TEXAS RANGERS" !! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Laurie S It was a good western and the musicl score was good too. I thought it a miracle to be able to shoot nine bullets from a pistol holding six bullets without reloading, but hey-ho. Magic happens. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Based on a book written by Louis L"Amore, and it was formed into a outstanding spaghetti Western. One that I will add to my collection. Richard Crenna plays the Man Called Noon, who after jumping or getting shot out of a 2nd Story Motel Window can't remember his past, Someone is out to kill him, and little does he know its the man he was paid to kill, confusing not really. Now no spaghetti western would be without a beautiful lady and in this case the very pretty and most beautiful Rosanna Schiaffino plays our lady in somewhat distress. Why is it the cowboy never stays with the lady but rides off with his horse, Dam shoot the horse so he has to stay. Anyway this is the first western where I've seen two women drawing down on each other. 4 1/2 stars nothing less. Great Stunts I am sure the stuntmen got plenty of scrapes and bruises on the rocks filming this one. A must see for Spaghetti Western Fans. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Reasonably enjoyable spaghetti western staring Richard Crenna. Taken from a Louis L'Amour novel. Quite a traditional a basic western and not exactly in the true spaghetti western style. The picture is good, but the sound is not brilliant. An enjoyable gun fight at the end turns out to be the best part in what is an average movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member this was such a good movie i loved it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
