(1969) Cemetery Without Crosses/ Cimitero Senza Croci
(In Italian with English subtitles)
SPAGHETTI WESTERN
Co-written, directed and starring Robert Hossein. It opens with gunmen led by Will Rogers (Daniel Vargas) chasing an outlaw, Ben Caine (Benito Stefanelli), and he rides until he reaches to his ranch, when his wife, Maria Caine (Michele Mercier) comes out, and she is prevented to come near him by Rogers gun men. And she watches helplessly as they hang him by a tree nearby. Meanwhile, some place else are two men, Thomas (Lee Burton) and his little brother, Elia (Michel Lemoine) as they begin to show up at Maria's place just as Maria had just finish burying her husband, Ben and they begin to help themselves inside her place and they begin to divide up the money. We find out that they all already know each other and that the person, Ben the Rogers gang had hung are related to the two guys that showed up. That they were all brothers and had just stole money from the Rogers family. After the two bothers Thomas and Elias leave, she then takes her husband's share and rides out with a horse carriage toward an abandoned ghost town. It is there is where she meets a single person, we find out who happens to be the star of the movie, Manuel (Robert Hossein). And she manages to convince him to avenge her husband's death as both Manuel and her husband Ben used to be really great friends.
This is another one of those movies that dwells on metaphors, twists, look and tone than it does on action where viewers are already aware about the objective as soon as Manuel accepts her husbands share of the money in exchange is to exact revenge on the men who murdered Maria's husband. Viewers do not know how as main bad guy, Will has many outlaws with him as well as sons. And does this by kidnapping the daughter. Some of the scenarios that did not make a tone of sense is that the two men who divided up the share had suddenly become more greedy when at the opening of the movie, it appeared that they were happy with the share that each of them had, and wanted more. And viewers who are sensitive with animal killing, might be grossed out by a scene of an actual rabbit killed and then prepared!
