Guns for San Sebastian (1968)

£0.00

(La bataille de San Sebastian)


Country: FR/MEX/IT
Technical: col/scope 111m
Director: Henri Verneuil
Cast: Anthony Quinn, Charles Bronson, Anjanette Comer, Sam Jaffe, Silvia Pinal

Synopsis:

In eighteenth century Mexico an outlaw is given sanctuary from the Spanish authorities by a priest, who then leads him to a town under siege from murderous Indians.

Review:

Ploughing a similar furrow to The Magnificent Seven (superstitious peasants, an outlaw redeemed), this unusual French effort also features Ennio Morricone's first use of vocalise in a Spaghetti Western. Alas, its many points of interest eclipse any watchability as entertainment, where it suffers the fate of many international productions (unmoderated performance styles, poor dubbing, etc.)
