Morricone is at his best here in this 1967 spaghetti
western (AKA: The Hellbenders), directed by Sergio Corbucci,
the lesser known father of the spaghetti western, and director
of the genre-defining Django, released later that same year.
Here some ex-Confederate soldiers, with a dream to see the South
rise again, steal a million dollars from the Union army and
hide it in a coffin to make it past the Union patrols.
Will they succeed in getting the money back to their Confederate
stronghold or will a femme fatale foil their plans? |
In this spaghetti Western, Joseph Cotten
stars as Jonas, an ex-Confederate soldier who robs a Union
freight train in order to re-ignite the Civil War.
