I watched this movie this morning on dvd its defenitley one of the top ten westerns of all time and Lee Van cleef is in the picture.

Just watched the film.

Twice the four men are referred to as 'a half breed, an Indian, and two white men'.

Pray, someone please tell me, as Henry Silva was the indian, who was the half breed? Certainly not Stephen Boyd....Van Cleef, or Salmi! Then who??

reply

I believe it was Lee van Cleef who was supposed to be the "half breed." Note his Hispanic name, probably suppoedly indicative of his "half-breed" ethnicity. It's not the only time he was cast as some sort of American Indian, so-called "half-breed," or the like. Consider Captain Apache.

bc I am sure you know who they are by now but just in case the trailer below shows who they are.

Two things:

Been a while since I've heard the term "Redskin" unless I was watching a football game.

... the Butler did it !! (just had to say that :))

lol... well said!

No he means Rugby - played without any protective equipment - unlike American Football which is super pussy . Cricket is a different sort of game altogether - i suggest you have a look at the IPL (Indian Premier League) to see how exciting & popular it is in the world . Get a passport yank & stop worrying about cats .

That which does not Kill me makes me Stranger

The IPL makes baseball look like test cricket.

Rugby ain't *beep* There isn't near the contact in it as in the NFL.

A fine film, made when America was different.

Was so clearly told to be Butler - really don't understand the reason for any question!

(But sometimes I too fall asleep by the last part of a film )

The neighbour raped and killed the wife and since it was only 6 months since it happened and the daughter was at least 3 or 4, why didn't she tell her father the bad guy was their neighbour?

Obviously the little girl didn't see him (the neighbor) when he raped/killed her mother. Either she was locked in another room or the thug had a mask on or both. Remember, Douglas (Peck) got his false info from the duplicitous neighbor and not his daughter.
