Movie Reviews of The Texican
Movie Review: An Audie Murphy Spaghetti Western!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film was canned in Europe (Spain)and hauntingly similar to the style set by Sergio Leone in his Eastwood "Man with No Name" trilogy. The supporting actors are mostly Spanish except for the familiar figure of screen heavy Broderick Crawford. There is a blending of the Hollywood Westerns and the Italian Spaghettis in this one. The dubbing is so obvious (typical of spaghetties)but the storyline is easy to follow (typical of Hollywood westerns). Murphy's boyish looking demeanor is still here but his age shows in this one. The protagoinists still dress decently and "cleanly" (typical of Hollywood). The only reference to the slovenly atmosphere, dirt and perspiration stink (in Spaghetties) are the presence of flies stealing the scenes in some shots. The gunfire (whistling type of blast)and the Morricone type of music (done to nauseating extremes) definitley makes this a Spaghetti western with its good qualities. The distracting and dizzying closeup-shots of Italian spaghettis thankfully were not incorporated into this movie. If you have been accustomed to the Hollywood B westerns by Audie Murphy at Universal, this movie is still of similar mode, except that it has the spaghetti taste in it. This is a good movie for western fanatics who enjoy the genre.
