'Any Gun Can Play' is a Spaghetti Western labeled in the Tarantino Grindhouse Box Set as 'Go Kill and Come Back'. I was waiting and waiting for that films listed American star Chuck Conners to show up, but he didn't and the plot varied enough from what I'd read it should be online, that it prompted further internet searching to find out what movie I was actually watching. Turns out that there are two different late 1960's Spaghetti Westerns that were relassed in some markets under the title 'Go Kill and Come Back'. That both movies concern train robberies further complicates things.
The story here features a banker (Ed Byrnes), a bandito (Gilbert Rolands) and a bounty hunter (George Hilton) double crossing each other over $300,000 in stolen gold. Once I knew what movie I was watching, rather then being confused by the lack of Confederates and Chuck Conners, I was able to enjoy this more. Easy going, occasionally comic, with a plot that seems intentionaly hard to follow, by the end of the movie there are at least five different factions after the gold and three after the beautiful Stefania Careddu. This might be worth revisiting knowing what it is. **1/2
