Una ragione per vivere e una per morire

Ajishir♥️Nov 16, 2022

On paper, this spaghetti western must have looked like it would work magnificently. It had a budget, three big stars heading the cast (James Coburn, Telly Savalas, and Italian star Bud Spencer), music by the legendary Riz Ortolani, and the still fresh DIRTY DOZEN plot premise. However, the end results are somewhat lacking. I think the reason why the movie doesn't work is a combination of its script and the direction by Tonino Valerii. Despite its premise suggestion there will be a lot of action, there actually is almost no action until the movie's climax. And the action that does happen in the climax seems somewhat humdrum and routine. It doesn't help that the part of the movie leading up to the climax is more often than not very low key. I would only recommend this spaghetti western to die hard fans of the genre.

This English re-titled "A Reason to Live, A Reason to Die" is a thoroughly unconvincing United States Civil War swipe of "The Dirty Dozen", done in the Clint Eastwood "spaghetti western" style. James Coburn (as Pembroke) leads a less than star-studded group of seven desperadoes. (Still pre-Kojak) Telly Savalas, who appeared as one of the original "Dozen", is Mr. Coburn's major foil. Mr. Savalas (as Ward) has interesting taste in sculpture art. The locations are nice, but don't seem very American. The film's relatively high level of explosions, shootings, and stabbings must have been the box office draw, back in the early 1970s. Today, you only need to play a video game. ** Una ragione per vivere e una per morire (1972) Tonino Valerii ~ James Coburn, Telly Savalas, Bud Spencer

It is the American Civil War as envisioned by Italians, set apart from the main theaters of conflict, out in the southwestern desert. James Coburn is Col. Pembroke who has lost impregnable Ft. Holman to the Rebs and who has a private scheme to retrieve it along with his honor. He sets out on a commando expedition with a sergeant and a dirty half-dozen volunteers, scalawags freed from the gallows and kept in line (barely) with a promise of hidden gold. Telly Savalas is the Southern commander dreading Pembroke's reappearance. Some exciting action and tense situations, but credibility is strained when, with the Ft. Holman Gatling gun spraying shot into the parade ground, the Confederate troops show no interest in cover but keep milling in the open like ants from a hill goaded with a stick. Not a great or inspiring movie but a solid performance from Coburn. And for all the death there's not much blood.

Who wouldn't jump at the chance to get off a gallows and take a chance at living? The motivation is, of course, gold...lot's of it. James Coburn does a very good job of portraying a soldier seeking justice for his murdered wife, and goes after Telly Sevallis with a vengance, using condemmed men as his team. Much like the Dirty Dozen, but without the military structure of WWII. Liked this movie but the sound track is typically Italian...overmodulated and scratchy. When I first saw this film I thought I was watching a Sergio Leone spaghetti western...even the music sounded the same. In spite of the similes and plagarised plots from other films in this genre, this one still turned out well. Good photography and special effects. Hope someday someone will remaster the sound and turn out a smashing DVD. Enjoy!

Another western taking place during the Civil War. Colonel Penbroke (James Coburn) is trying to redeem himself after losing a fort to the rebs, and, like The Dirty Dozen, gathers condemned men to take a fort. He only has six or eight, not a dozen, but they manage to get to the fort anyway. Getting in is another matter. This is where it changes from a western to a commando flick, a la WWII. The condemned all die thinking they would be rich off the gold supposedly buried in the fort, and Coburn gets his chance to once again face Maj. Ward (Telly Savalas). Lots of dead Rebs and only Pembroke and Eli (Bud Spencer) survive, but his honor is restored.
