Le colt cantarono la morte e fu... tempo di massacro (Massacre Time, 1966)
"But dear Jeremiah, how can you abandon the land where you've lived, where your dead are buried?"
"I don't have any dead buried here."
"You do now."

Nero's good (he always is tbf) but he's run rings around by Hilton#in his breakthrough role as the drink sodden but still sharp shooting brother. Castelnuovo is a strong villain too‚ his head almost#permanently cocked to one side‚ squinting through his madness as he plays the organ or shoots down children. it's a showy part and he's#well suited to it. di Leo's script doesnt quite live up to the excellent work Fulci's doing nor does it offer much to differentiate this

Diamanti sporchi di sangue (Blood and Diamonds, 1978)
"That guy had plenty of guts. I felt bad killing him, because I realised what it feels like killing a man worth his salt. It makes your heart ache."
#diamanti sporchi di sangue#blood and diamonds#italian cinema#fernando di leo#claudio cassinelli#martin balsam#barbara bouchet#pier paolo capponi#olga karlatos#carmelo reale#vittorio caprioli#alberto squillante#fernando cerulli#raul lovecchio#sandro la barbera#fulvio mingozzi#camillo chiara#luis bacalov#crime film#1978#glum and moody kind of spiritual successor to di leo's earlier masterpiece Milano calibro 9 (thematically similar but with the morality#inverted). this hasn't quite as much style‚ punch or wit as that earlier film‚ but it's still a solid spaghetti crime thriller in the#fatalistic mode. starts slow and steady‚ and fits a familiar mode for most of its run‚ but in the final 30 minutes this gears up and gets#closer to being something really special; finally di leo is taking chances‚ finally the plot is moving in surprising and unexpected ways#even pier paolo capponi's hotheaded henchman (a performance I'll admit grated on me a little at first: he goes so loud and so obnoxious#with) even he finally starts to seem real and complicated and heartfelt as the film wraps up. and then it ends‚ kind of perfectly. very#very good in its later stages but a little formulaic in the journey getting there. Bacalov's minimalist discordant score is also#noteworthy; it blends into the background a lot but then suddenly a jangling chord will strike at just the right moment to snap you alert#this was near the beginning of Cassinelli's most productive era as a genre star and leading man (cut short by his tragic death in 85)#and he's as moody and magnificent as he always was; Bouchet holds her own against him in an intriguing and mercurial role
