Just watched this in Italian with English subs and part of the third Spaghetti Western box set from Arrow.
A remarkable film, which is definitely not your average Spaghetti Western, with a main character, a former pistolero and living legend, who is portrayed as an anti-hero by Woods and who hides against ever new challengers, whom he must kill each time in order to survive, but this life has become increasingly unpopular with him, causing him to seek solace in alcohol.
When he meets a nice barmaid who wants to help him and start a new life with him, it turns out she was murdered by a gang that is after him and he is pulled back into his old lifestyle and can no longer avoid his fate.
Woods delivers a strong and remarkable performance, perhaps his best of his career, and the film is more of a character study disguised as a Western. However, the action is exceptionally violent and bloody, even for its genre. There's a long, gruesome scene where the barmaid is beaten and ultimately killed.
The finale is strong, but the very last scene is surprising and abrupt, yet daring.
The musical accompaniment by Alessandro Alessandroni borrows from Morricone, especially in "Il Bueno, il Bruto,..." and especially "...Dollars More".
Remarkably, the likeable boy from this film would remain a familiar face in Italian films and television well into his teens, but would later, as an adult, become one of Italy's greatest terrorists ever and go to prison for years!
Strong film, one of the better ones in the genre.
An eight, or four stars!
