Review of My Name Is Nobody (1973) by Jy S — 21 Aug 2009
Tonino Valerii gets the credit of directing this great western comedy, however some credit is also due to Sergio Leone for providing the idea.The story is a good one, despite the fact that it drags a little in the middle.
The first 10 minutes of this hour 50 minute picture starts off on the right foot, with very little dialogue, good suspense, and a quick shootout. Just like that, the main character, Jack Beauregard, has a moderate amount of buildup.
From here on out, the film continues to entertain.There are a number of slapstick comedic elements in this movie. So yes this is a comedy, but at the same time, there is a serious tone that still makes this a distinguished western.
There is no question that Terence Hill and Henry Fonda are the ones that make this film as enjoyable as it is. Terence Hill's character is fun to watch and he is a good counter to the seriousness of Henry Fonda.
Ennio Morricone's playful soundtrack is also worthy of note. Very catchy and memorable.My Name is Nobody comes highly recommended for fans of spaghetti westerns.
