One of Morricone’s finest works!
Given that it’s my first non-Leone spaghetti western, it’s interesting separating the stylings of the genre from Leone’s personal style. While it has quite a bit in common with Leone, it doesn’t have his flair and signature close-ups.
That being said, the Morricone score and Lee Van Cleef make this an awfully fun time. It’s much grittier and dirtier than the westerns Hollywood was churning out at the time, so despite its quirks it’s pretty engaging. Unlike Leone, Sollima doesn’t try AT ALL to make the dubbing seem at all authentic, but you get used to that aesthetic after a while. Highly recommend checking it out!

Great Spaghetti Western with a rousing score. Ennio Morricone was a composing genius.
