another thing we can agree on, Sartana uses the phrase "another man" too much when he tells stories.
I think so too. Are there any other ambiguities we need to work on?(I really don't buy into any love affair blackmail.)I was certain that Lasky/Morgan weren't hired by Stool/Holman(and were just trying to blackmail them as well as steal the gold) as suggested in the dvd sleeve notes but while having another look at Sartana today the bankers mention something like "it would've been foolish to leave the gold in the hands of Tampico and his men,just like it would've been to leave it with Lasky and his men" which gave me cause to doubt my own theory but i guess this didn't necessarily mean Lasky/Morgan were in the bankers employ.Maybe the bankers had considered hiring Lasky but decided Tampico was a safer bet. For what its worth Thomas Weissers Sartana write up appears to concur with my theory stating that "a gold shipment is robbed by snuff-sniffing Lasky" and that "Lasky & his sidekick Morgan decide to blackmail the original gold thieves".
Everything is cleared up for me now, except I will feel kind of empty inside with just having to assume that the "other men" sartana talks about are just people we never see.
Just think of it similar situation to the man Indio describes,but who we never see, who made the drinks cabinet disguised as the El Paso safe in FAFDM.
Yeah, I guess I can. Except I assumed that the guy Indio shoots the moment he is freed is that man.
he is an omnipresent character in the film. His watch is always with Sartana, and Tampico is always talking about Moreno.
I've always thought he was the carpenter as well. He has the little model of the cabinet.
It's presented in its OAR (i'm pretty sure).
