DVD Reviews of Texas, AdiosDVD Review: Franco Nero in worthwhile early spaghetti Summary: 3 Stars
European star Franco Nero may always be remembered for his roles in Sergio Corbucci's movies, Django, Sergei Kowalski, Yodlaf Peterson, but he made a handful of other spaghetti westerns worth watching, this one included. Nero plays Burt Sullivan, a sheriff of a Texas border town. But one day, he decides to leave the town and ride into Mexico in search of Cisco Delgado, the man who gunned down his father many years before. Tagging along with Burt is his younger brother, Jim, who's inexperienced but still good with a gun. The two brothers find out that Delgado has made quite a life for himself, basically ruling a Mexican town and his large estate with an iron hand. Burt wants to bring him back to Texas to face a judge, but upon meeting him discovers a huge secret that could tear him and his brother apart. An early spaghetti western from 1966, Texas, Adios could have passed for an American western in many ways. It doesn't have that dark, cynical feel that many later spaghettis did, but it's still a good movie for fans of the genre. Lots of good action with plenty of fistfights and shootouts. The music is good, especially the main theme, but the Texas, Adios song is pretty bad. Fans of spaghetti westerns won't be disappointed, there's plenty here to recommend.
Right up there with Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef as some of the biggest spaghetti stars, Franco Nero is very good here as Burt Sullivan, the Texas lawman seeking vengeance on his father's murderer. Nero was always good as the smart-mouthed gunman, here he's more serious, but his role is strong just the same. And if nothing else, it's fun to see Nero as a lawman for once, not an outlaw/bandit. Alberto Dell'Acqua, credited as Cole Kitosch, plays Jim, Burt's younger brother who tags along with his brother into Mexico. Jose Suarez gets to be the villain here as Cisco Delgado, the man who killed the Sullivan's father and now is a wealthy landowner. Delgado isn't a typical spaghetti bad guy, but that has to do with the twist delivered about an hour in. The rest of the cast includes some recognizable faces from the more mainstream Italian westerns including Luigi Pistilli, Livio Lorenzon, Elisa Montes, José Guardiola, Gino Pernice, and Silvana Bacci.
The Blue Underground DVD is a welcome addition to any DVD collection with a sharp looking widescreen presentation, "Back in the Saddle with Franco Nero," a six-minute interview with Nero about his experiences in Italian westerns, a trailer, and a detailed Nero bio in menu form. Also worth mentioning, Italian audio and English subtitles are included because the dub isn't one of the best. So for an exciting spaghetti western led by Franco Nero, check out Texas, Adios!
