Sergio Corbucci's The Great Silence is a Spaghetti Western that Slaps Hollywood in the Face !


Jean-Louis Trintignant
Klaus Kinski
 
Let's be clear here, nobody made Spaghetti Westerns like Sergio Leone.  He is the A-list.  Sergio Corbucci probably heads the B-list.  The Great Silence (1968) is a great Western built on an Ennio Morricone soundtrack.  It stars Jean-Louis Trintignant and Klaus Kinski and takes place in the 1899 blizzard in Utah.  Spoiler alert !  All the good guys die.  Nuff said.
