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 classic spaghetti western. Directed by the great Sergio SoIlima (Face to Face, Violent City) this brutal fiIm elevated western regular Lee Van Cleef (Ride Lonesome) to his first ever starring roIe.
When bounty hunter Jonathan Corbett (Van Cleef) is hired to track down a Mexican peasant (Tomas MiIian, 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 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."
