9/10
Westward the women to Argentina
3 June 2021
I understand that this movie may fell true western die hard buffs discomfortable. This could be a kind of spaghetti western, after all Arentina is a bit Spanish and Italian descent country. And also German, especially since 1945, we wonder why....)))) So, this movie is typical in the spaghetti genre mood and atmosphere. First, there are full of unlikable, offbeat and downbeat elements that we see in Spaghetti westerns, for example, how women are treated. Not only westerns made in Italy, but also.poliziottesco with poor women beaten raped, violented in so may ways, treated as less than garbage. Here, you have some of this. No hero here, that's precisely what I like and search. I am surprised that only one viewer has noticed the parallel, because it still exists, between this and Bill Wellman's WESTWARD THE WOMEN. A poor parallel, I agree. Robert Taylor has a nemesis here, as he had in Ivanhoe, another Bois Guilbert payed by Ron Randell instead of George Sanders with a very good ending as I love, instead of the classic twilight classical westerns finals. Yes, i definitely loved this unusual westerns that the great Sam Peckinpah could - I am sure - have perfectly done and also liked to direct.
