The Mercenary (Il mercenario)

" I love spaghetti westerns, even moreso than Hollywood ones, because they have this exotic Italian flair to them. And I love westerns in general because they take us back to a time when man was not yet bound by the shackles of industry and commerce, when man was still an independent engineer of his own fate, riding a graceful horse into the fiery sunset with a pistol on his hip.
