After the worldwide success of Sergio Leone's "A Fistful of Dollars" (1964) and "For a Few Dollars More" (1965), Robert Hossein, an honorable French actor and director which had a previous Western "The Taste of Violence" (1961) in his credits, is trying one more time his luck in the same genre. The music, signed André Hossein (father of Robert Hossein) it's a reminiscent of Ennio Morricone's music from Leone's films. Benito Stefanelli, who played in the two aforementioned films of Leone, has a role here too. The same José Canalejas, Lorenzo Robledo, Álvaro de Luna. Many other elements of Leone's movies are present in this Cemetery Without Crosses (1969) too, Michèle Mercier is dressed and even resembles Marianne Koch from A Fistful of Dollars but, however, despite the charm of the two main actors, Hossein and Mercier (they have been together also in the successful "Angélique" series), the film is a total failure. So, I'm sorry Mister Hossein, I love you very much in many other films but, this one is not spaghetti, c'est de la merde.
