The spaghetti western genre continued with Ferdinando Baldi's "Texas, addio" ("Goodbye, Texas" in English). Franco Nero - the original Django who had a bit part in Quentin Tarantino's movie as the man who knows that the D is silent - plays a sheriff going after the man who killed his father. This movie doesn't make any pretense about being a masterpiece. It's a typical spaghetti western with music that sounds like that of Ennio Morricone. And there's no shortage of fights to go around.
The movie got filmed near where "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" got filmed at the same time, and so Franco Nero and Clint Eastwood occasionally took the time to socialize. Those guys are truly the icons of Euro-westerns. This looks as if it was a fun movie to film. I recommend it.
PS: Franco Nero was in a relationship with Vanessa Redgrave for many years. They had a son who directed her in an adaptation of Wallace Shawn's politically charged play "The Fever", co-starring Michael Moore and Angelina Jolie.
