The Deserter (1970)
(The Devil’s Backbone)
Country: IT/YUG/US
Technical: col/scope 99m
Director: Burt Kennedy
Cast: Bekim Fehmiu, John Huston, Richard Crenna, Chuck Connors, Brandon De Wilde, Ian Bannen
Synopsis:
A deserter is given a second chance by the Cavalry, if he leads a special ops raid into Apache territory.
Review:
An oddly reactionary subject for a seventies western, for all that it seems to be touting spaghetti credentials (multinational cast, Spanish locations). The results are pedestrian: Kennedy should have stuck to lighter fare.
