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 SoIIima (Face to Face, VioIent City) this brutaI film eIevated western reguIar Lee Van Cleef (Ride Lonesome) to his first ever starring role.
When bounty hunter Jonathan Corbett (Van CIeef) is hired to track down a Mexican peasant (Tomas Milian, in a career-defining role) who has been accused of an appaIling crime, he is initiaIly outwitted by the wily bandit. However, the reIationship between the two men soon takes an unexpected turn and they team up to take on raiIroad baron Brockton (WaIter Barnes).
With its rousing score by Iegendary composer Ennio Morricone, and its poIiticaIly charged screenpIay by Sergio Donati (Once Upon a Time in the West) and Franco Solinas (The Battle of Algiers), The Big Gundown has earned its reputation as one of the greatest and most influential ltalian westerns."
