I’m pleased that ‘Django’ tops the list. That’s one hell of a movie.
I always liked the “Trinity” movies. Nothing too serious, just a lot of fun.
Oh, that makes much more sense.
>> wouldn’t you know it, most of the competition stars the actor-turned-Mediterranean cowboy from New Jersey <<
I’m a cowboy; On a steel horse I ride, and I’m wanted (waaaaan-ted) dead or alive. ;^)
Yea! You are the best JoeProBono! Love love love your posts!
Very funny western
They Call Me Trinity 1970
A drifter comes to town where his brother is sheriff. His brother is actually a robber who broke the real sheriff’s leg and left him for dead, and became sheriff in order to hide out. They team up against the local land baron who is trying to get rid of the Mormon settlers in a valley he wishes to own.
Hey, regarding the belt and holster pic, I need a set up like that for an old Colt revolver I got last fall. If that is your personal belt and holster set pictured, can you direct me to a good place to purchase such a set up? Mine’s a Colt Officer’s Model, 3rd Edition, .22Long Rifle. Found it in 95 percent perfect condition. My only revolver. Love it!
But..but....No Clint!!
The typical team was made up of an Italian director, Italo-Spanish technical staff and a cast of Italian and Spanish actors, sometimes a falling Hollywood star and sometimes a rising one like the young Clint Eastwood in many of Sergio Leone's films. The films were primarily shot in the Andalusia region of Spain — in particular the Tabernas Desert of Almería — or Sardinia, because they resemble the American Southwest."

Despite being entirely set in the American West the film was a British production and was filmed, as was common at the time, in Spain mostly around Almeira. A number of notable British actors had roles in this film."
So not guilty.
How about the western musical comedy, “Zacchariah”?
He was “The Bad”, of course. How can people get that wrong? Of course he had a role as one of the bad guys in High Noon, as well. My personal favorite Lee Van Cleef performance is his deadpan tour de force as Dr. Tom Anderson, a zoned out alien collaborator, in It Conquered the World, opposite Peter Graves as good guy Dr. Paul Nelson.
Anyway, I appreciate these recommendations, as I haven’t seen any of them!
Lee Van Cleef was also one of Liberty’s two partners, (the other was Strother Martin), in the John Wayne/John Ford movie, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. He gets thrown out of the saloon by Wayne after Liberty gets shot.
