    This is a good one

    "May God Forgive You...But I Won't" is a rock solid spaghetti western. It's a good looking movie. It tells its story well and its action is well staged. George Ardisson does a nice job as the hero. The supporting cast also does a nice job. "May God Forgive You...But I Won't" does go off the rails once in a while but it quickly gets back on track. I've been watching a lot of spaghetti westerns these past couple of years. They are a hit or miss kind of thing. This movie goes on the plus side of the ledger. (IMDB has a six hundred character minimum so I have to ramble on a little bit longer. How was your day?)

    Mainly for die hard fans

    It becomes pretty clear a few times in this spaghetti western that it was trying to ape the original "Django" movie, not just for the fact the hero in this movie has a name similar to "Django". That didn't concern me that much, especially since for the most part the movie seems to be trying to do its own thing. The movie does have some interest here and there - a good musical score, a story that goes in a few unexpected areas, and a decent action climax. But the movie has some significant problems. One of the main problems is that the motivations of some key characters remains vague or simply not explained at all. Another problem is that the movie unfolds at a somewhat slower pace than you usually get for a revenge western. Fans of spaghetti westerns will probably get enough enjoyment out of it, though it isn't one that should be actively sought out.

    Above average pasta

    Ardisson should have done more spags. He had the look and the chops to pull off the laconic protagonist. This film is a stark reminder of what might have been, as director Musolino passed away at a young age after making only two films (this being the better one). It is well made, with a style that reminds of Leone without completely ripping the master off.

    Well shot in Almeria and starred by various Spaghetti Western stars : Ardisson , Ghidra , Martell and Sanchez

    Chiedi perdono a Dio... non a me(1968) , this is a sequel to Cjamango (1967) by Edoardo Mulargia starred by Ivan Rassimov ; dealing with Cjamango (George Ardisson) he's away from his ranch when six cutthroats attack and murder all the members of his family . When MacDonald family is killed , disrupted by this tragedy Cjmango sets out to take his vendetta . Cjamango hunts down the murderers in this typical vengeance story . One by one he kills the bandits and learns along the way who's the true killer : the Smart Brothers : Jack Smart (Peter Martell) and his is older brother Dick Smart (Anthony Ghidra as Dick Smart, this name is the same as an Eurospy movie directed by Francesco Prosperi in 1967) who gets a lot of henchmen together now and pursues Cjamango . Before, Barrica (Pedro Sanchez) from a hill watched how the heinous killers carried out the gruesome slaughter , so he helps Cjamango in exchange for the bounty reward. For money, for pleasure, for revenge , he doesn't care why he kills or how ¡ .

    This is a simple and plain story about typical Spaghetti plot , as a slaughter and atrocity takes place , then Cjmango executes a single-handedly revenge , as he slashes , burns , ravages and kills each person involved in the massacre . It is plenty of action in the movie , guaranteeing shootouts or stunts every few minutes .It is an exciting western with breathtaking showdown between the tough protagonist George Ardisson and the nasty enemy , villain Anthony Ghidra and his gun-toting hoodlums . Ardisson is fine but very serious , as he ravages the screen , he jumps , leaps, hits and runs ; besides receiving violent punches , kicks , lashes and strong tortures . Stars George Ardisson (1931-2014) as a two-fisted , trigger-happy gunslinger who's relentless in his vendetta , deadly in his violence . He used to play Spaghetti Westerns , Peplum and especially Euro-spy sub-genre , known for Agente S3(1965), As de pic , Operation Contraespionage , Hércules in the haunted world , Django defies Sartana, Erik the Conqueror , Gold of the Bravados , he was a second-class actor , here enjoying as a merciless revenger . Co-stars Yugoslavian actor Dragomir Bojanic-Gidra or Anthony Ghidra who starred various Spaghetti Westerns , and , another known face : Peter Martell and adding special mention for Pedro Sanchez who used to play similar roles to Fernando Sancho , here he performs a bounty hunter who helps our starring in exchange for the reward , to take the price on the heads of most outlaws wanted dead or alive .

    There are many fine technicians and nice assistant direction and adequate production design , it benefits from spectacular outdoors shot on location in Desert of Tabernas, Almeria , Spain , creating an excellent scenario withwith breathtaking chases and go riding through the barren outdoors , dirty landscapes under a glimmer sun with appropriate sets . The musician Felice Di Stefano , composes a nice soundtrack and well conducted ; it's full of Spaghetti sounds in Ennio Morricone style. Striking and colorful cinematography by cameraman Mario Manzini. The motion picture was professionally produced and directed by Spaghetti expert Vincenzo Musolino . In fact , his career expanded in Pasta Western genre , producing six Spaghetti Westerns : Quintana , Chiedi perdono a Dio... non a me , Non aspettare Django, spara , Cjamango , Vete con Dios, gringo and Why Kill Again? Or And Stop the Slayings. And he directed two of them : Quintana and Chiedi perdono a Dio... non a me (1968). Rating : 6/10 . Acceptable and passable Spaghetti . The picture will appeal to aficionados .

    Somewhat watchable despite a common theme

    (1968) May God Forgive You...I Won't/ Chiedi perdono a Dio... non a me DUBBED SPAGHETTI WESTERN

    Produced, written and directed by Glenn Vincent Davis. It opens with Cjamango McDonald (George Ardisson) seeing his dad, sister and brother off, while he was heading into town to finish paying off for a piece of paper. That piece of paper we find out later is to the deed of the MacDonald's property. And although both Cjamango and Virginia Stuart (Cristina Iosani) are attracted to one another, both of their families would not approve of of their relationship. After stopping by at the bank he was just heading toward to see Virginia's father for the final payment to obtain the deed. While this was happening, six gunmen entered into the property, shooting and killing Cjamango's dad, sister and brother. And as soon as the gun men leave the MacDonald's property, they are seen from a distance with a guy looking through a telescope. By the time Cjamango comes back and finds them dead, he goes to obtain that deed from Virginia's father, Stuart (Luigi Pavese), before he takes off again. It was at this point, the guy who witnessed the killing chases after Cjamango, and introduces himself as Garcia Ramirez (Ignazio Spalla) or for short Barrica. And Barrica wants to help him, as we find out later that his motive was for money since the men who who did it were wanted men, and appear to have bounty on their heads. The first three were easy kills, as he succeeds in drawing first killing two in a saloon and another one in another Mexican village. However, before Cjamango kills the third person, he gives him two names he never expected to hear about- the names of "Smart" and "Stuart". It is only when he crosses paths with Dick Smart (Anthony Ghidra) is when his plans of revenge become complicated. When Cjamango succeeds in shooting Dick's brother, Jack Smart (Peter Martell) first before he does in a fair gun fight. Since Jack Smart is supposed to be quick on the draw with a $5,000 bounty on his head. Dick finds out about this, he and his 50 or so gunmen then head back to Stuart's ranch for the purpose of demanding for more money. Only to force him by the hand and his gun men to kill Stuart and take whatever money he could find. At the same time go after the person who gunned his brother down.

    For a movie that is about a hour and a half, it is still quite watchable despite a common theme.
