Truly Dreadful Film

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

One can definitely tell Sergio was involved. Naming the bad guys The Wild Bunch and having a grave marker for Sam Peckenpah was outstanding. Good use of humor.Made during the near end of Fonda's cowboy days. Pure old-time spaghetti Western, only with a mix of lots of humor. Sadly they don't make films like this anymore. Best line by Fonda, "When you find yourself covered in s---, sometimes it pays to keep quiet."

A fun parody of Western clichés that never becomes stale and gibing Spaghetti genre. There is plenty of action in the movie , guaranteeing shootouts or stunts every few minutes. There are also many fine technicians and stunning direction and excellent production design with magnificent scenarios. It deals with a young, soft-hearted gunfighter (a cocky Terence Hill) who worships and competes with a veteran outlaw named Jack Beauregard (awesome Henry Fonda), once the greatest gunslinger of the Old West who only wants to retire but instead they band together . He arranges for Beauregard to take on the 150-man band known as The Wild Bunch . Both of them oblivious to dangers and hopeless odds endure mishaps and adventures and they attempt to right wrongs . At the end takes place a spectacular duel earning his place in history between the easygoing gunslinger and the famous retired outlaw he reveres .It's an exciting SW with breathtaking showdowns between the protagonists and their enemies full of shots , explosions , thrills and deaths . Spoofs every Western clichés with relentless comedy , parodying ordinary Spaghetti elements . The main premise results to be the confrontation between Old West represented by Henry Fonda and new West mirrored on Terence Hill character. The storyline has some embarrassment and ridiculous , silly situations but also has its agreeable moments here and there. It's a Spaghetti western with humor and develops the usual issues : invincible antiheroes, spectacular gun-down , violent taking on but united to slapstick and simple humor. It's an entertaining Italian western with overlong runtime in which there are irony, tongue-in-cheek, shootouts, numerous showdowns and is quite funny and amusing . This bemusing picture with Spaghetti all-star-cast contains an entertaining plot , action Western , shoot'em up and bits of campy and refreshing humor . It's an improbable blending of standard Western, irony and continuous duels with no sense . An enjoyable premise and interesting casting full of usual Spaghetti make this oater well worth the watching . Delightful Western satire in which two gunmen using his wits , break all the rules and kicking virtually every cliché in the pants . Amiable but sometimes lumbering Western satire goes on and on about the same premise , as a lot of minutes are superfluous ,it has fifteen minutes in excess , as it packs overblown jokes and antics and some moments turns out to be a little tiring . Fonda and Hill steal the show as two improbable heroes , they are very fine, they ravage the screen, , hit , shoot and kill .There is even a homage to ¨Orson Welles's The lady from Shangai¨ when at a Mirror Fun House takes place a duel between Hill and his enemies . Terence Hill is nice as a good guy , hilarious and likable , known only as "Nobody", idolizes Fonda and wants to see him go out in a blaze of glory. Here Hill plays a similar character to ¨They call me trinity¨ and ¨Trinity is still my name¨. Henry Fonda is first-rate as a rough, two-fisted old gunman but with good heart. There appears customary Spaghetti actors as Piero Lulli , Mario Brega , Benito Steffanelli , Antonio Molino Rojo and notorious American secondaries as Geoffrey Lewis , Steve Kanaly , Leo Gordon and R.G. Armstrong . Lively but commercial musical score by the great Ennio Morricone . Colorful cinematography plenty of barren outdoors , sunny landscapes under a glimmer sun and fine sets on the action scenes shot by excellent cameraman Giuseppe Ruzzolini , filmed in US and Spain as La Calahorra, Granada, Andalucía, (railway scenes) , Almeria ; USA : Colorado New Orleans, Louisiana, White Sands National Monument, Alamogordo, New Mogollon, Acoma Mexico, USA .The motion picture lavishly produced by Fulvio Morsella and Sergio Leone , being well directed by Tonino Valeri . Tonino 's so-so direction is well crafted, here he's mostly cynical and humorous and less inclined toward violence and too much action especially on its ending part . Valeri is an expert on Western as proved in ¨The hired gun ¨ , ¨A reason to live , a reason to die¨ with James Coburn and Telly Savalas , ¨The price of power ¨ with Giuliano Gemma and Van Heflin , ¨The day of anger ¨ with Lee van Cleef and ¨ Taste of Killing¨ with Craig Hill and George Martin .

Unlike the "Trinity"-films with Bud Spencer, "Il mio nome e nessuno" ("My Name is Nobody") is more of a hybrid between the above mentioned light-hearted Fun-Westerns, directed by Enzo Barboni or Michele Lupo, and those grim, yet psychedelically humorous Spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone (who wrote the script for this movie).For one, we have Henry Fonda (as fading gunslinger Jack Beauregard), playing his scenes as straight-faced as he had in any US-Westerns since the beginning of the century. More impressive yet is the performance of Terence Hill, who merges his worn "Trinity"-character, jovial, likable buffoon yet "Lucky Luke"-compatible gunslinger, who can shoot faster than his shadow), with a character that often makes us wonder "could 'Nobody' be psychotic?" Terence Hill plays the character 'Nobody' as a mixture of admiring fan and stalker, leaving us wondering until the very end, whether he just admires Beauregard or whether he admires him so much, that he'd get Beauregard killed."Il mio nome e nessuno" is, in my opinion, wrongfully compared to the "Trinity" westerns – although I'm a fan of those as well, they remain comparable simple Spaghetti-Westerns compared to "Il mio nome e nessuno".The highlight of Terence Hills (solo)-career and one of the few European Western films that deserve to be taken serious by fans of 'serious' Western films.

My Name is NOBODY: A "classic" western movie of another art! The Story: Original! Well selected actors to portray the two (2) main characters. Henry Fonda - as the cool, yet self-assured laid-back fastest drawing Cowboy (or should I write Cowman?) still alive! Enjoying his Life style of loneliness (but doesn't know he's lonely!). Giving the character the demure of a Classy Gentleman, just don't mess w/him!Whereas, you have Terence Hill, with his boyish humor, admiring FAN of Jack B. who wants to help him retire - leaving a Historical Legend behind that no one, NO ONE could ever be more successful than Jack B. Selecting Terence Hill in this role was the balance between the two main characters. (not to mention Terence's first scene of him in the lake....and all you see are his absolutely beautiful BLUE EYES on that SEXY FACE! OMG!!!!!)The Orchestration: EXCELLENT! Can't get any better - for this particular movie. It was the PERFECT orchestration for this movie! The music is OFTEN used on German TV (especially in Berlin, Germany) simply because it's very lovely, cute and one you'll never forget. It stays with you! In Berlin, you'll often hear it played as background music for a TV show, or someone whistling it as they're walking on the street. (I downloaded it on my computer and on my MP3 player).A really nice movie for a Saturday afternoon! One to keep as a classic for your home movie library!
