Plot
Corbett, a bounty hunter, is hired by a railroad baron to track Cuchillo, a Mexican peon accused of raping and murdering a young girl. As he pursues his quarry across the border, Corbett begins to doubt the case, and the man he hunts. Sergio Sollima's 1966 Western, with Lee Van Cleef and Tomas Milian, and a score by Ennio Morricone, is one of the finest and most politically minded Spaghetti Westerns.
Sinekatalog’s take
Sergio Sollima's political spaghetti western sends Lee Van Cleef after Tomas Milian's fugitive. Fast, witty and sharp, with an Ennio Morricone score, it questions justice and class in a thrilling chase.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
