EITHER ALL OR NONE

Cinemavixion Review

Guido Zurli's "Either All or None" (1968) emerges as a surprisingly engaging, albeit routine, entry in the Spaghetti Western canon. While not reaching the heights of the genre's titans, the film offers a mildly enjoyable experience, significantly bolstered by a pleasant musical score. The narrative is enlivened by the recurring motif of a 'phantom gunman' and a series of plot twists that keep the viewer guessing, particularly towards the conclusion. The presence of Akim Tamiroff, portraying the memorable tramp Pigsty, adds a notable layer of character, complemented by a cast of colorfully named individuals. Zurli injects moments of dark humor through over-the-top dialogue and the antics of a barber character, providing a unique comedic counterpoint to the Western drama. Despite its lesser-known status, "Either All or None" is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Western, offering a distinctive flavor that rewards patient viewing.
