Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesThis was the very last film distributed by Allied Artists Corporation (early in its life, Allied Artists was known as Monogram Pictures, and was responsible for all the Bowery Boys/East Side Kids films (under the monikers; Little Tough Guys/Dead End Kids, their films were released by Universal). Citing extreme financial difficulties, Allied Artists filed for Chapter 11 in late 1978, and the following year, their entire catalogue (including the Monogram films) was purchased by Lorimar/Telepictures Corporation (itself subsequently purchased by Time Warner, Inc. a decade later). Some TV prints of the Bowery Boys features, the WB 'shield' logo precedes the opening credits).
- GaffesWhen Catherine initially stabs Mathew, she stabs him on his left side, the blade is horizontal. After the cut, the blade is vertical sticking out of the center of Mathew's upper back.

"This day hasn't turned out well"
This one comes very late in the Spaghetti Western timeline, is directed by an American, and plays out like a love story. It's different to say the least.
Fabio Testi is Clayton, a condemned man who is reprieved at the last minute, as long as he tracks down Warren Oates and kills him. Oates used to work for the Railroad and they don't like loose ends, so Clayton has to take him out. A problem arises in the form of Jenny Agutter, Warren's much younger, hot wife whom Clayton first spies skinny dipping. Clayton shacks up at the Oates/Agutter household under the pretence that he's passing through, but Oates is no fool, and Agutter starts making goo-goo eyes at the hunky Clayton.
Not a shot is fired in anger for the first fifty minutes of this film, as Clayton decides he can't kill Oates by he can get it on with Agutter, which leads to Oates attacked her and Agutter retaliating in a surprisingly violent way (she stabs him in the back and brains him with a rolling pin). Clayton and Agutter think Oates is dead and they can be a couple, but Oates wakes up and gathers his numerous brothers for some revenge...as does the Railroad when they find out Oates isn't dead...
As this is a late era Spaghetti Western, the pacing isn't exactly full throttle, but I was surprised to see that the violence was very realistic - people get shot and fall over instead of clutching themselves and spinning around the place, and the violence is very abrupt and sudden, like the accidental shooting of a hooker through a window or two corpses being shot over and over again.
Plus, Testi stands out as the lightening fast Clayton, made weak through his love for Agutter. Apart from her dodgy Irish accent, Agutter does well too and spends a lot of time naked with Testi (I actually gave birth to Testi's child just by watching this film!). Warren Oates stands out too, with his mumbly, tired character.
This must be one of the very last Spaghetti Westerns, and it's worth tracking down if you can find an uncut version of it. Sam Peckinpah makes a surreal cameo too, just to add to the sense of weirdness.
