Today It's Me...Tomorrow You!

Spaghetti Westerns are hard to keep track of title-wise. Of course there are the original Italian-language titles, but after that a film could have multiple titles with differences from countries, video releases, DVD releases or even theatrical releases. Being a huge fan of the Eurowestern, I've had to find the best way to keep track of what I've seen. So my bible and the last word on titles is Spaghetti Westerns: the Good, the Bad And the Violent, a comprehensive filmography of 558 European western films.

Oggi a me...domani a te! follows one of the standard revenge plots common to the spaghetti western. A man is released from prison for a crime he did not commit. Once free, he hunts down the man who put him there. Our hero Kiowa has an additional reason for vengeance, the villain has also killed his wife.

This particular film moved a bit slow for my liking. Kiowa spends half the movie gathering his band of gunfighters without much gun-play action at all. Once the rag-tag band of men are together, they find and eliminate the banditos rather tamely & methodically. In a nut-shell, not much happens.

This film is notable for being written by a young Dario Argento and starring (in one of his first westerns) Bud Spencer, who would later team up with Terence Hill to form a long-lasting buddy-film duo.
