Crow (Original title: ... e il terzo giorno arrivo il Corvo ) is a spaghetti western from 1973, the Gianni Crea staged. The tightly budgeted film was premiered on video in the German-speaking area and, like all of the director's films, is considered to be part of the genre's sediment.

action

The brothers Link and Tornado Connelly are together with their sister Kathy on the search for "The Crow", the "meanest son of a bitch this side of the Rio Grandes", who is responsible for the murder of their father. They come across a lot of gold that turns out to be fake and clash with the bandits under the leadership of the banker Lawson, who had previously stolen it. Behind them is a bar owner with a good number of moronic sons. Ultimately, they have to take out a bounty hunter who is after them. Link is killed in the process. After three days of in vain waiting, a black-clad figure appears in the village and is shot by a tornado.

criticism

Scathing reviews everywhere the film is discussed at all. "Breathtakingly bad staging and editing make the film look like a homunculus knitted together from different works," writes genre expert Christian Keßler and sums up: "Nobody, really nobody wants to see all of this." "As usual, bad westerns in the lowest category," says Ulrich P. Bruckner in his Lexicon of the Genre. You have to see it to believe it, sums up filmtv.it. The lexicon of international films also concludes that it is "amateurish in every respect".

Remarks

Indeed, the film contains scenes from Crea's previous Relentless to the Grave , from which the role played by Dino Strano comes almost entirely. Music is reused from La preda e l'avvoltoi .
