IMDb plot summary: A recently-escaped bandit forms an unlikely alliance with two bounty hunters and an acrobat to get revenge against the people who framed him.
Directed by Giuseppe Colizzi. Starring Eli Wallach, Terence Hill, Brock Peters, and Kevin McCarthy.
There were ever so many westerns released in 1968, but at least this one has a slightly lighter touch than most of them, giving it more the vibe of a heist movie than anything else. While I wish we got to know anything about most of our main characters, Eli Wallach has an incredibly disarming sort of charm, and I rooted for him the whole way. The final scene is very satisfying. Pretty decent for what is approximately my millionth western from this year.
