Uccideva a freddo (The Cold Killer) (1967)

[titoli]

Snowy SW shot before The Great Silence. Not that it makes a difference. Another original item is the country-style OST courtesy of a presumably italian duo (or group?). Which wasn't so easy to find at the time at the time. And the friar who blackmails the villain. And finally the the real point of originality which makes this worth a watching: the fact that the protagonist is the villain and he holds true to the movie title: he kills in cold blood and wasting no words about it. But apart from that the rest is the usual sea of ineptitude, only the protagonist resembling an actor and the story making no sense (why the gang waits all that time to get the gold from the mine? And how the "hero" manages to shoot one of the gang who rather looks like he shot himself, as the hero doesn't show a pistol). 5/10
