Synopsis
Shakespeare is combined with the spaghetti western in this interesting offering. Though the language is modernized, the plot is basically the same as Hamlet. In this version, the hero does not die--instead he rides off into the sunset.
Trivia
Originally called "Johnny Hamlet", but the Producers decided for the "Quella sporca..." title and the movie kind of bombed at the box office unfortunately.
