Review of The Big Gundown (1967) by Senor C — 07 Feb 2011
The Big Gundown.
Directed by: Sergio Sollima.
Release Date: November 29 1966.
1 hr. 24 min.
I'm no spagg western buff at all (war of independence if at all for that time and place) but the motion picture was allways what it was for manymany years and these guys were right up with it. I think this was a new phase (mid 60's) modernising film we knew it then, 50's for inventions and 60's for innovative thinking.
Still, its a gun slinging flick, with the unofficially deputized marshall (Lee van cleef) going all out after the most hainus of all villianous fugitives around, taking his all cool calm and collected fastest draw in town an all around y'know (gotta get into it or its all over with you L ...ingOL)in persuit. Well things go less conventionally let's say but as allways its all in the action and mayhem falling to the stronghold of justices.
It is kinda good enough to see dubbed (I generally don't go for intentionally) though the air of sophistication vCleef eminates carries the madness and menaces through from the rest of the cast.
Not bad, different. Not a must see.
