My Name is Nobody (1973)

 'My Name is Nobody' is a 1973 Spaghetti Western, though unusually filmed largely in the United States by Italians. The film stars genera icon Terence Hill, and another icon, Henry Fonda, respectively as an eccentric young gun slinger and an the older more traditional gun slinger he idolizes. Directed by Tonino Valerii form an idea by Sergio Leone, this is a reference full, satiric rumination on both the end of the old west and the Western genera. It's funny and off kilter and Hill's manic acting up contrasts with Fonda's largely playing things straight at times makes for a weird affect, but you should non the less be amused, some of the set pieces are quite strong. Memorable jaunty scroe by Ennio Morricone nicely runs against type. ***
