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. |
