The Great Silence (1968)


A western by Sergio Corbucci.
A band of outlaws takes a sheriff's horse. He is later picked up wandering in the snow by a stagecoach carrying a mute assassin and a bounty killer. They all arrive in the same town and conflict ensues.
Westerns with snow just don't do it for me. Westerns are supposed to happen in the desert where it's hot, hence why they're not called "northerns". The plot was sufficiently complex and the characters identifiable. There was some good spaghetti western music, but for some reason I wasn't entertained. Oh well. I'm rating it o.k.
