Review of A Minute to Pray, a Second to Die (1968) by Pete S — 27 Sep 2011
Aka Dead or Alive. Reasonably enjoyable Spaghetti Western starring Alex Cord as McCord, Robert Ryan and Arthur Kennedy. This film is well directed with good good acting the lead roles. A local town decides to give amnesty and $50 to gunfighters that give themselves up. However, McCord runs into trouble along the way. This film seems to struggle to get going and is a bit bland in parts, but overall it is ok. The ending was really good with McCord and others besieged inside a blazing cabin.
I watched the English-dubbed italian version of the film which runs to 118 mins in which Cord's character is killed. Be warned that English-dubbed version of the film on MGM/UA's R1 DVD is cut!
