Texas, Adios (1966)
6/10
efforts to make this convincingly look like an American western seem, ironically, to go against the grain
31 January 2019
This is okay but starring Franco Nero and released the same year as Django, one might have expected a little more. Directed by Ferdinand Baldi who dabbled in various genres over the years, made Blindman (1971)one of my faves starring Ringo Starr and ten years later the crazy 3D Comin' at Ya! which I remember. with some affection, watching at the BFI Southbank many years ago. Texas, Adios was 'released in some countries as a sequel to Django' and this says it all really and maybe it should have been just that but there is no mention of the main man here. I enjoyed the sweeping vistas, dusty deserts and deserted villages of Almeria but efforts to make this convincingly look like an American western seem, ironically, to go against the grain. Whilst the spaghetti western is an Italian version of the US films, it is that European perspective that usually gives the films such a different feel.
