“Cemetery without Crosses,” also known as “A Rope… a Colt…” (1969), is a French/Italian/Spanish Euro Western directed by Robert Hossein, who also wrote and stars in the film. Hossein has acknowledged that Sergio Leone served as an influence, particularly on his work, and the resemblance to "For a Few Dollars More" (1965) is noticeable. A highlight of the movie is a dinner scene at the Rogers’ ranch, which was directed by Sergio Leone himself. The story involves an ex-gunfighter residing in a deserted town somewhere in the Southwest who chooses to help the widow (Michèle Mercier) of a friend who was wrongly executed by the powerful and brutal Rogers family. While this is a well-made Spaghetti Western—it features familiar Spanish settings, a solid cast including three actresses (Mercier, Anne-Marie Balin & Béatrice Altariba), and appealing visuals—the overall experience feels somewhat lifeless, aside from that particular dinner scene. The film’s narrative becomes simplistic and drags on. Compared to other films of the genre, “The Hellbenders,” or "The Cruel Ones" (1967), was less skillfully crafted but at least offered some entertainment value. It doesn't quite measure up to “Doc” (1971), which boasted a stronger cast and more engaging elements. Even “Navajo Joe” (1966) proves more impactful, in my opinion. Nevertheless, for those with an appreciation for Euro Westerns, it might be worth checking out—some film enthusiasts hold it in higher regard. The movie’s length is 1 hour and 30 minutes, and filming took place in Almería, Andalucía, Spain. GRADE: C+/B-
