Death came with Django (original title: L'uomo, l'orgoglio, la vendetta , title in the GDR: The man, the pride, the vengeance ) is an Italo-Western from 1967 with Franco Nero in the lead role.

action
Django, a lieutenant in the Mexican army, is charged with guarding the gypsy Conchita. When she manages to escape, Django is demoted. The two meet again, fall in love and become a couple. When she starts working as a prostitute, Django gets into an argument with one of her suitors, his superior officer, and kills him. Django then goes into hiding with smugglers and becomes a deserter, highwayman and outlaw. He joins a gang whose boss Garcia turns out to be Conchita's husband. The two men become bitter rivals. When Django tries to flee across the border with the gypsy, she refuses to accompany him. He stabs Conchita and is shot himself shortly after by soldiers who are chasing him.
background
In the strict sense of the word, this film is not a western because the action takes place in Spain in the early 19th century. The story is about the Carmen fabric by Prosper Mérimée (best known for the opera of the same name by Georges Bizet ). In the Italian original, the main characters are also called José and Carmen. However, the film was shot with the stylistic devices of the Spaghetti Western and was dubbed in this way by the Berlin Union Film GmbH & Co. especially for German distribution in 1968. The German dialogues came from Karlheinz Brunnemann and Rainer Brandt .
In 1970 the film was re-dubbed by DEFA for the GDR distribution, this time true to the original and almost unabridged. The dialogues were written by Wolfgang Krüger and directed by Dagmar Nawroth.
criticism
In Filmecho / Filmwoche Nr. 88, Ernst Bohlius praised the "rousing chases filmed in a magnificent karst landscape and boldly cut and captivatingly photographed battle scenes". Ulrich P. Bruckner called the film “of excellent design”, the actors were all very well chosen, Rustichelli's “very beautiful, threatening music” underscored the tragic plot.
For Christian Keßler the work was “a classic tragedy; very precise and effective image guidance and extremely powerful scenes. One of the most dramatic westerns of all time. ” Joe Hembus described the film as“ appropriately heatedly staged ”.
The video week ruled that the film was a "small masterpiece of spaghetti westerns. […] The shimmering atmosphere of desire and jealousy, love-hate and murder in the scorching desert and mountain landscape is adequately captured by the zooms and wide angles in the camera work by Camillo Bazzoni and in Carlo Rustichelli's music. Excellent Franco Nero, the original 'Django', in the lead role, who puts Django as a tragic hero. "
