ten miles off." – Jack Beauregard
Why watch this?
The scene in the bar where Nobody is given shot after shot.
Plot Summary:
Aging gunman Jack Beauregard desires to retire peacefully in
Europe, but a mysterious younger gunfighter, who calls himself
"Nobody", idolizes Beauregard and insists he must achieve
legendary status before leaving the West. Nobody tries to
persuade Beauregard into a final, epic confrontation against the
fearsome Wild Bunch gang, hoping to immortalize him in history.
As Beauregard seeks to avoid this fate, Nobody persistently
follows him, demonstrating surprising skill and a determined
plan to make his hero a legend.
Dad's Preview:
This is one Italian Western that did not feature Clint Eastwood. The plot
revolves around an aging gunfighter trying to retire, and a
young gunfighter, called "Nobody", who insists that his hero
must go out in a
"blaze of glory". This has some of the best gun-skill tricks on
film, all played in a very whimsical way; the film itself is
almost a comedy. Regardless, it's fun to watch, especially due
to a memorable Morricone soundtrack and the steady hand of the graceful
Henry Fonda. There are two sequels, too.
