I bought this blu-ray rather than the newer US disc simply because it was offered on a rival website for much cheaper. I'm assuming if you're reading this you're at least somewhat familiar with this film - it's a Sergio Leone spear-headed, partial parody/part-tribute to Sergio Leone westerns. It has the beautiful cinematography, the great music, the circus-like obsession with great marksmanship (here used more in line with Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name shooting the hats off of bystanders rather than simply mowing down human beings) and a parody of Clint's iconic cowboy. Not the Man with No Name - NOBODY!

This blu-ray has fantastic picture quality - looking at stills of the US blu-ray compared to this, I prefer the colours on this and detail and stability are pretty damn good as well. There appears to be NO DNR applied, and no weird scanner noise such as plaguing most Italian films on blu-ray (Django and City of the Living Dead being clear offenders). It looks fantastic. Sound is also very good - Italian, French and English, all lossless, I obviously went for the latter. It being a French release, selecting English punishes you by forcing you to have distracting French subtitles throughout, though mostly they stay out of the 'scope frame and in the black so it's bearable. The sound is occasionally tinny but mostly very good. If the picture is great, eclipsing even the mighty The Good, the Bad and the Ugly on blu-ray (too much DNR!), the sound is a decent lossless stereo presentation.

There ARE extras - a commentary with the director, interviews with the writer and the director and some scholars...but they're all in Italian or French and there are no English subtitles. So deal with it. :P

If you want the movie, get whichever release is cheapest. I hope this review is helpful to you.

Remember folks, just because it's not my bag doesn't mean it's a bad
film...

Il mio nome è Nessuno (My Name Is Nobody) is directed by Tonino Valerii and Sergio Leone and co-written by Leone, Fulvio Morsella and Ernesto Gastaldi. It stars Terence Hill, Henry Fonda and Jean Martin. Music is by Ennio Morricone and cinematography by Giuseppe Ruzzolini.

It's a Spaghetti Western comedy that is highly thought of in like minded circles, but for the casual observer it's too damn quirky for its own good and gets caught between two worlds. The action quotient is high, the direction, performances and visuals are very good, and the humour, if you like it spoofery flavoured, is never in short supply. While Morricone provides an unusual musical score that ultimately befits the odd nature of the beast as it were. Thematically it has something to say on the changing West, and in fact on the changing of the Western movie as well. While structurally the makers never miss an opportunity to lift and homage from Western movies of the past.

It's very much one for fans of the medium only. 5/10

Tonino Valerii was Sergio Leones cinematographer of choice, and it is assumed that Sergio Leone directed at least some of this wonderful Western, in addition to his stated 'producer' role.
The style, the trademark Ennio Morricone music, the nostalgia for disappearing times and the locations all are familiar Leone staples, but this movie showcases humour and more script than we normally expect from him.
Be aware that this is a comedic take, but done so subtly and charmingly by Nobody (played by the perfect cast blonde blue eyed Terence Hill) and his interplay with Henry Fonda, that it never gets in the way of the style and story.
Henry Fonda represents the old West, and maybe even the old Western, who is planning to move to Europe and live out the rest of his years. Nobody is the character who appears a buffoon and simple minded but is actually possibly the smartest of them all, and maybe the fastest on the draw. His desire is to see his hero go down not fading away into old age, but in a blaze of glory..
Right down to the finale, the interchanges between them are touching as well as bringing a smile to your face, and while occasionally the humour is more slapstick than you might be used to, overall you are left with a nostalgic glow from the heartwarming ending.
If you like Westerns, or if you like Leone, or even if you just like something a little different, then this is a must see.

This dvd is more than just a comedy spoof. It is a subtle celebration of the end of Sergio Leone's (ghost director) spaghetti western career where the celebrated gunslinger ends his career in legendary style with help from nobody.
Nobody (played by Terence Hill) does not reclaim vengance for a dead brother as claims the synopsis, but rather he wants to aid his all time gunslinging hero retire in style.
A fantastic calculated drama right until the last stance, accompanied by a wonderous Ennio Morricone score. The DVD itself contains some nice bonus clips including a Terence Hill interview on the movie.
Start here for spaghetti westerns, or just watch a great movie.

Jack Beauregard a ageing gunfighter just wants to retire and move to Europe but a young gunfighter called Nobody idealises Beauregard and wants him to go out on one last magnificent act. Which means him alone facing a gang known as the Wild Bunch who are one hundred and fifty strong.

Sergio Leone produces this well made and enjoyable Spaghetti Western in 1973 after the huge success of the Trinity films by director Enzo Barboni. The director was the talented Tonino Valerii who handles the film really well I just think the story had great potential if all the comedy elements had been left out.

Terrence Hill gives a Trinity style performance as Nobody and it is one of his finest roles, although I preferred him in the earlier 'Viva Django'. Hollywood Legend Henry Fonda is even better as Jack Beauregard and his solid serious performance mixes well with Hill's slapstick style.

The film lacks the traditional gritty and serious action the Spaghetti Western was famous for and mainly sticks to silly childish fast draws and slaps to the face. The opening sequence however is the best part of the film where three gunfighters plan on ambushing Beauregard while he has a shave.

The ending with Beauregard taking on the wild bunch had potential to be the greatest scene ever in a Spaghetti Western but after a good start with some effective slow motion, it turns silly with freeze frame shots of explosions from a book, poor narration and some comedic music.

Ennio Morricone's scores is both good and bad in my opinion. I surprisingly actually liked the child like main theme tune played around the Nobody character and I really liked the gunfight theme as well which sounds similar to Harmonicas theme from Once Upon a Time in the West.
