Here’s the trailer to Sergio Sollima’s magnificent Western La Resa Dei Conti<\/em> or as it’s known in the USA, The Big Gundown<\/em>. This is one of my favorite Spaghetti Westerns, up there with the Leone masterpieces. It features an incredible score by Ennio Morricone, vocal work by Alessandro Alessandroni’s Cantori Moderni<\/em>, and solo vocal by Christy.<\/p>\n

Is Christy Really Gianna Spagnulo?<\/em><\/p>\n

Sergio Sollima and Sergio Donati imbued the screenplay with Socialist overtones but it’s the interplay between Milian and Van Cleef that really elevates this film to the Olympian heights of Western Greatness. As a matter of fact I think it rivals, maybe even surpasses the buddy\/enemy dynamic of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly<\/em>. That’s a tall order! Van Cleef did this immediately after GBU, what a great year he had! (Check out Mike Malloy’s cool book Lee Van Cleef<\/em> for more info on this great actor.) There’s a Classical Greek reference in a sort of Odysseus on the Isle Of Circe scene with Milian as Odysseus. Also this trailer features some of the supercool optical work from the ultra groovy main title sequence. Check it out, you won’t be sorry! <\/p>\n
