Ballad of a Gunman

1967 · 98 min

Dusty, sun-scorched standoffs and double-crosses roll by at an easy clip, with grim gunplay and a wry streak.

Overview: Instead of fighting over newly gained money from a coach-robbery, two gangster-brothers (El Bedoja and Chiuchi) decide to rob a bank together. But Martinez, a gangster-coward, is successfully questioned by Nigros (a clad-in-black gangster-killer who collects the money) and Rocco (a righteous ex-sheriff who doesn't and shows off even more skill in using his pistol) on their plans.
How it feels: Dark, tense, cynical and melancholic. Measured and easy to follow.
