This movie is absolutely unique into the western panorama. Think only that, at the end, the good one dies and the vilain (a super vilain like klaus kinski!!!) triumphs and you have the whole originality of this western. But not only that: the female star is a black girl, the location is completely covered by the snow and, returning to the hero, is absolutely tender and for that his end result more sad for us. The only difect for me are in some secondary caracters, like in the Leone movies. But the substance is untouched. Corbucci confirm his original line into the italian western; a line started from the excessive valued but interesting "Django". Hard world, hostile nature, hyperbolic charachters originals from Leone. In his others westerns (like "Il mercenario" and "Vamos a matar companeros"), things changed for a sunny-funny line, very professional, but not the same thing...
