Fabio Testi in Bill Cormack le fédéré (1975)

Review by ma-cortes

Bill Cormack le fédéré

6/10

A thrilling western with violent pursuits between the tough starring Fabio Testi against enemies.

Colorful Paella/Spaghetti western about confrontation between a suspicious outlaw and Canadian Mounted Police , with a trackerwell played by Fabio Testi . Western starred by genre usual , Fabio Testi as an obsessive Mountie resolving conflicts between rugged pioneers and Canadian Mounted Police , being decently directed by horror expert , Joe D'Amato, and dealing with taking on between a Canadian officer and his enemy throughout the gorgeous Canadian outdoors . Canada , late XIX century , Cormack (Fabio Testi) , the lawman most feared by the trappers at the turn of the century , has a strange bond with "Caribou," (Guido Mannari) , an outlaw whom he has imprisoned after killing a card player . When Caribou getaways from jail , Cormack goes after him. Following the death of his loved one (Lynne Frederick), who had previously been the neglected girlfriend of his enemy , Cormack pursues him but then Caribou returns seeking vengeance and kidnapping his son Jimmy (Renato Cestie) .

Well crafted and passable Western realized in traditional style with ordinary screenplay written by Lucio Fulci himself , based on a story by Bret Harte and adapted for the screen by prolific writer Ennio De Concini . Thus , the picture includes the Canadian theme similarly to ¨The unconquered¨ by Cecil B De Mille , ¨The Canadians¨ by Burt Kennedy and ¨The trap¨ by Sidney Hayers . As the movie follows more the American models as well as Spaghetti Western wake . ¨Giubbe rosse¨(1975) is an exciting picture containing noisy action , chases , thrills , breathtaking struggles through the snowy outdoors , spectacular landscapes and anything else . The film is a crossover among three Italian sub-genres : ¨Spaghetti Western¨ ,¨ Canadian Mounted Police¨ and ¨Jack London's White Fang¨ series . Following films about Canadian Mounted Police as ¨Mestizo¨ by Julio Buchs and ¨La Carga De La Policía Montada¨ (1964) by Ramon Torrado and ¨Rebels in Canada¨ by Amando de Ossorio ; as well as ¨White Fang¨series : Lucio ¨Fulci's White Fang¨ , ¨Tonino Ricci's White Fang to the Rescue¨, ¨ Ken Annakin's Call of the wild¨ , ¨Buck¨ with John Savage and ¨Buck and the magic bracelet ¨. Acceptable and passable Spaghetti Western in which the starring , Fabio Testi gives an adequate acting as the stubborn Montie goes into action to track down a dangerous contender who's abducted his child . At the beginning of his long career Fabio played various Spaghettis , such as : ¨Une corde un Colt..¨., ¨Pasion Salvaje¨ , ¨Zorro Justiciero¨, ¨I quattro dell'Apocalisse¨ , ¨At the end of the rainbow¨ , ¨Django Meets Sartana!¨ and ¨Clayton Drumm¨. As it results to be a family film , with no much violence , though there are many deaths . This is an Italian production with action , usual Western characters , go riding , crossfire and lots of shots . It's a middle-budget film with professional actors , technicians , production values and pleasing results . There is action in the movie , intrigue , twists , riding pursuits , and guaranteeing some shoot'em ups or stunts . The movie packs a spectacular final charge of the Mounted Police cavalry against the bandits , though regularly paced , including extras enough . There're several familiar faces from Spaghetti Western and other Italian subgenres , such as : Robert Hundar , Lars Bloch. Bruno Corazzari , Lionel Stander , Emilio Messina and the early disappeared cult actress Lynne Frederick who married Peter Sellers and also starred another notorious Spaghetti : Lucio Fulci's ¨The Four of the Apocalypse¨ .

The motion picture was professionally photographed/ directed by prolific director Joe D'Amato or Aristide Massaccessi . This artisan was a prolific cameraman/writer/producer/director who made all kinds of genres . His first directing work was in 1972's low-budget Scansati... a Trinità arriva Eldorado (1972), co-directed by Diego Spataro, under the pseudonym Dick Spitfire, but it was a commercial failure. As he directed hardcore , soft-core, erotic films starring Laura Gemser, such as Emmanuel and francois (1975), Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals (1977), Emanuelle in América (1977), Emanuelle and the White Slave Trade (1978), Erotic Nights of the Living dead , L'alcova (1985) . Gialli and Terror movies : Gomia , Hitcher in the dark , Death Smiles on a Murderer , Buio Omega . Scifi and Sword-witchery : Ator , Ator l'invincibile, Ator 3 , 2020 Texas Rangers , Bronx Endgame, and many others . Rating Giubbe rosse (1975): 5.5/10 .
