My Name is Nobody 1973 a spaghetti western homage to well spaghetti westerns and the old west in general.
Jack Beauregard, (Henry Fonda) once the greatest gunslinger of the Old West, only wants to move to Europe and retire in peace, but a young gunfighter, known only as "Nobody," (Terence Hill) idolizes him and wants to see him go out in a blaze of glory. He arranges for Jack to face the 150-man gang known as The Wild Bunch and earn his place in history.
With subtle credits to other westerns "Sam Peckinpah's grave in Boothill cemetery and the big shootout against the Wild Bunch its clear that this is the old, against the new, as in the new bloody genre of the modern western, bloody mercenaries against the stately gentlemen that Fonda represents.
A lovely jovial score my Ennio Morricone which many will be familiar with Nobody's theme from Julia Davis's hilarious BBC comedy Night Night which utilised the theme for her character Jill Tyrell.
The film it self is an enjoyable but hardly essential romp 7/10.
