Btw If you like quiet westerns with authentic feel...I watched recently
"Junior Bonner"...a very good modern day western with GREAT performance
from Steve McQueen. Not much beautiful scenery in that though.
For nice snowy mountain scenery and incredible spaghetti western, try
Corbucci's "The Great Silence". You won't regret watching it. I can't
advertise this forgotten masterpiece enough. |
