Reviews

Trivia

  • Sergio Corbucci drove into the middle of the Almerian desert with Burt Reynolds and left him there to find his own way back to town on foot.
  • Quentin Tarantino loved this film; the false identity of "the bride" Beatrix Kiddo in Kill Bill - Arlene Machiavelli - has been inspired by Nicoletta Machiavelli.
  • Later, working as a guide for Italian tourists in the United States, Nicoletta Machiavelli formed a real relationship with the Navajo.
  • The mystery of the railway station at Esperanza solved!
