The Night Digger (1971)

Da Uomo a Uomo (1968, ITA) C-114m. SCOPE *** D: Giulio Petroni. Starring Lee Van Cleef, John Phillip Law, Mario Brega, Luigi Pistilli, Anthony Dawson, José Torres, Franco Balducci. Revenge western with a cult following about Law's quest to find and kill outlaws that wiped out his family 15 years ago. Van Cleef is trying to find them, too; he spent the last 15 years in prison after being betrayed by them. A cool western, with excellent widescreen cinematography by Carlo Carlini, stylish direction, and an elaborate score by Ennio Morricone (used by Quentin Tarantino for his KILL BILL films). Major flaw: Languid plotting makes this occasionally pretentious. English titles: DEATH RIDES A HORSE, AS MAN TO MAN.
