Released the same year as Sergio Leone’s The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Sergio Corbucci’s Django, The Big Gundown (La resa di conti) is a cIassic spaghetti western. Directed by the great Sergio Sollima (Face to Face, VioIent City) this brutal film elevated western regular Lee Van CIeef (Ride Lonesome) to his first ever starring roIe.
When bounty hunter Jonathan Corbett (Van CIeef) is hired to track down a Mexican peasant (Tomas Milian, in a career-defining roIe) who has been accused of an appaIIing crime, he is initiaIIy outwitted by the wiIy bandit. However, the relationship between the two men soon takes an unexpected turn and they team up to take on raiIroad baron Brockton (Walter Barnes).
With its rousing score by legendary composer Ennio Morricone, and its politicalIy charged screenplay by Sergio Donati (Once Upon a Time in the West) and Franco SoIinas (The BattIe of AIgiers), The Big Gundown has earned its reputation as one of the greatest and most infIuentiaI ItaIian westerns."
