The Black Glove Man.

Une corde, un Colt (AKA: Cemetery Without Crosses) is directed by Robert Hossein, who also stars and co-writes the screenplay with Dario Argento and Claude Desailly. Starring alongside Hossein are Michèle Mercier, Anne-Marie Balin, Daniele Vargas, Guido Lollobrigida and Serge Marquand. Music is by Andre Hossein and cinematography by Henri Persin.

After being forced to watch the lynching of her husband by the ruthless Rogers family, Maria Caine (Mercier) asks her inept brothers-in-law for help in retribution. Getting no joy from the pair, she seeks outside help in the form of fast gun Manuel (Hossein), a loner living in solitude out at a ghost town…

It’s dedicated to Sergio Leone, who directs one of the best scenes in the film, contains the Argento factor, so it’s not really a shock to proclaim that Leone’s influence is all over Hossein’s movie.

It’s a Pasta Western that operates in the void between the real and the spirit world, deliberately ethereal in tone, even sprinkling dashes of the surreal onto the hearty portion. Dialogue is used sparingly, but not to the detriment of films quality, and Hossein the director dallies in black and white staging, slow zooms and excellent usage of sound effects.

Much like the dialogue, the violence is pared down, there’s no Blunderbuss infused blood laden approach to the evil that men do here, it’s all very controlled and in keeping with the tonal flows that Hossein favours. The cliché’s of the sub-genre are adhered to throughout, thankfully so, while the finale is suitably melancholic.

Thoughtful, sombre and ripe with blurry ambiguity, Cemetery Without Crosses is comfortably recommended to the Euro Western fan. 8/10

***Moody, serious, proficient but flat Spaghetti Western by Robert Hossein***

An ex-gunfighter living in a ghost town in the Southwest (Robert Hossein) decides to assist the wife (Michèle Mercier) of a friend that was unjustly lynched by the rough ruling family of the area, the Rogers.

“Cemetery without Crosses” (1969) is a Euro Western (French / Italian / Spanish) originally titled “A Rope… a Colt…” (translated). Director/writer/star Robert Hossein was admittedly inspired by Sergio Leone and you can see the influence of “For a Few Dollars More” (1965). Speaking of which, one of the best scenes in the movie, the amusing dinner sequence at the Rogers’ ranch, was guest-directed by Sergio Leone.

This is a competent Spaghetti Western with a quality score, the usual Spanish locations and a good cast with three beautiful women (Mercier, Anne-Marie Balin & Béatrice Altariba). I like the serious tone, the ambiance and attractive cinematography, but it’s too flat of an experience, disregarding the dinner scene. Simply put, it becomes one-dimensional and tedious as it moves along.

“The Hellbenders,” aka “The Cruel Ones” (1967), was less proficient, but at least it entertained. “Doc” (1971) is a good comparison, but it had a superior cast and way more perks. Even “Navajo Joe” (1966) is more memorable IMHO. But if you like Euro Westerns give it a try. Some cinephiles rave about it.

The film runs 1 hour, 30 minutes, and was shot in Almería, Andalucía, Spain.

GRADE: C+/B-

Exhilarating in bursts but meandering in places
Ever since I saw Sergio Leone’s The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (1966) and Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) as a child after burrowing into my brother’s VHS collection, I’ve loved spaghetti westerns. It was only in my teenage years that I realised just how many of these films were made – some excellent, some terrible, and some just outright bizarre – and it’s been fun tracking down some of the more obscure titles. While not strictly a ‘spaghetti’ western due to being French (a ‘baguette’ western as Alex Cox puts it), Cemetery Without Crosses is a stoic curiosity. Clearly influenced by the work of Leone, the film is an existential, near-silent work that is in equal parts hypnotic and plodding.

Humble farmer Ben Caine (Guido Lollobrigida) is chased and gunned down by members of the Rogers family, who are scooping up all the livestock business from the surrounding areas through fear and violence. Ben is gunned down and hanged in front of his wife Maria (Michele Mercier). With her livelihood destroyed and Ben’s brothers Thomas (Guido Lollobrigida) and Eli (Michel Lemoine) opting to flee across the border, Maria turns to old friend Manuel (Robert Hossein), a brooding gunslinger residing in a nearby ghost town, for help. Manuel soon infiltrates the Rogers family and joins them on their ranch, where he sets Maria’s revenge in motion.

Though more of a homage to spaghetti westerns, Cemetery Without Crosses certainly looks and feels like it was born and reared in Italy. There are a couple of glimpses of brilliance – a familiar scene of intense stare-downs at the dinner table quickly flips into a moment of outright comedy, and the scene in which a character lights a candle to reveal that they are not alone is truly nerve- shredding. But the plot is wafer-thin, so the camera is often left lingering while the characters do little or nothing at all, and the dialogue is especially sparse, even for a spaghetti western. Hossein, who also directed and co- wrote the film with the credited Dario Argento and Claude Desailly (though in reality Argento had no involvement), simply doesn’t possess the magnetic presence of Clint Eastwood or Charles Bronson. Exhilarating in bursts but meandering in places, Cemetery Without Crosses is still worth checking out.

an excellent, well-made spaghetti western
This is a very good eurowestern that will have you in its grip from start to finish.

It is beautifully filmed with lots of desolate wide open desert, and impressive mountain scenery. The film has a feeling of loneliness as much of it takes place in a deserted ghost town which has apparently become the home of the protagonist.

The movie is populated with bitter characters that are primarily motivated by revenge. There are no happy endings here. This definitely wasn’t “the feel good movie of the year,” which is a good thing. The female lead is a beautiful woman in black with little left to live for other than seeing her husband’s killers pay for his death. Her relationship with Manuel, the man she goes to for help with her plan, is a very intriguing one. This is because we are left to wonder what their history is until close to the end of the film when it is finally revealed.

The music score is excellent. The opening/closing theme is a great spaghetti western ballad with vocals. The music during the film is mostly guitar designed to create feelings of suspense and sadness. There’s also a touch of organ thrown in for good measure. It all works wonderfully with the film.

This is a high-quality spaghetti western that is riveting and entertaining. I highly recommend this one. If you get the chance to see it, don’t pass it up.
