Boot Hill (1969)
(La collina degli stivali)
Country: IT
Technical: col/scope 100m
Director: Giuseppe Colizzi
Cast: Terence Hill, Bud Spencer, Lionel Stander, Woody Strode, Victor Buono
Synopsis:
With the aid of a travelling circus a pair of adventurers come to the defence of concession holders who are being swindled by a crooked mining company.
Review:
Intriguing spaghetti western in as much as it reveals its hand very late in the proceedings, though not without leaving the odd loose end, among which its title figures large (?) There is a rather cute use of the dumb show device from Hamlet's Murder of Gonzago by the circus troupe, but overall this is pretty grim fare: rudimentary dialogue, a climactic gunfight in the dark so it is very hard to see what is happening, and no sense of threat from a credible bad guy. Spencer is hardly used, so they splice on a hotel fistfight as an afterthought.
