Death Rides a Horse (1967)
Italian Spaghetti Western.
A young gunfighter forms a tenuous alliance with an aging ex-outlaw to track down and eliminate the bandits who killed his family.
The original title of the film was “Duel in the Wind.” Lee Van Cleef came up with the Italian title while discussing the movie with John Phillip Law, who saw the film as a “man to man” story. Van Cleef remarked, “Why don’t they call it ‘From Man to Man‘?” The Italian producers liked how it sounded in Italian (“Da Uomo a Uomo“) so much they used it. Then the film was subsequently retitled “Death Rides a Horse” in English-speaking markets.
The screenplay and story of Death Rides a Horse was written by Luciano Vincenzoni. Vincenzoni went to work with director Giulio Petroni after having a falling out with Sergio Leone while the latter was making The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.
