Duck, You Sucker

(GIÙ LA TESTA/A FISTFUL OF DYNAMITE, Sergio Leone, Italy 1971, 157 min.)

Little seen and previously only available in butchered versions, this underappreciated Leone Western stars James Coburn as an Irish terrorist trying to flee from his bitter past in the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution, and Rod Steiger plays a crude Mexican peasant who robs banks to liberate political prisoners. The film reveals a striking political consciousness and, as you’d expect in a Leone film, a great score by Ennio Morricone.
