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.
An explanation by Scherpschutter:
The Italian title means (literally) "That dirty story in the West", not: "That dirty story of the West". So not the West is said to be dirty, but the story; the use of the demonstrative 'quella' indicates in Italian that a specific, well-known story is meant, more than likely Shakespeare's Hamlet. You could read the title as "That dirty (Shakespearean) story (set) in the West"
