Once upon the time in the West – Arizona, Texas, New Mexico or elsewhere –
a not so noble bountyhunter (Tony Anthony) is on a strange mission. For 50.000 bucks he has to accompany Maid Elisabeth
(Diana Lorys), heiress of the throne, to Spain. During the sea voyage strange
things are happening: Time suddenly runs backward, and in Europe our rough hero sees himself confrontated with
masses of huns, led by Raf Baldassare and Lloyd Battista. But no problem, thanx to some dynamite and large calibres in the
luggage. A much bigger challenge is the voyage in the underworld.
I 1976
The Casketnail says:
Five years after the production of
„Blindman“ Baldi and Anthony cooperated again, continuing their voyage into “abstrusitiy”. The journey-through-time-ingredient
however seems to be really constructed and has no great influence on the rest of the story. Well, but the producers spent
lots of money for material, masses of extras wearing hun-costumes and FX: The grand final is in fact a big party for pyromaniacs,
supported by Perino’s excellent camerawork. But the cut of the film is horrible, especially the non-action-sequences
(dialogues!) are completely out of timing. This is why the film gets a bit stringy after 45 minutes. It’s a pity, because
it could have been a direct hit without these technical deficencies.
