Review of Navajo Joe (1966) by Brian F — 20 Aug 2007
Extremely entertaining spaghetti western nonsense from one of the masters, Sergio Corbucci. Ol' Burt is quite young here and is good, although he doesn't yet have the acting chops that we've all come to know and love.
Nicoletta Machiavelli is sexy and tough in the lead female role and the music is perfection (you'll recognize it from lifted tracks that QT used for Kill Bill, vol 2.) The film is a fast-paced, revenge-based western that is never slow but is never deep.
It's all complete trash, of course, but good trash that is perfectly watchable and is, to be honest, a total blast. Now, will someone PLEASE release a nice, widescreen version on DVD in the US and save us all from the cheap, budget DVDs that the film has been released on.
