Picture quality is not great, but this 1968 Thomas Milian western, co-starring Orson Welles as an evil Mexican general, is available to view in it's entirety on Youtube, for how long I have no idea (amazing how many full-length movies there are on Youtube now, most of them probably violating some kind of copyright). Anyway, it's one of the few of Welles' later movies as actor that's worth watching; not in the same league as the best of Leone and Peckinpah, but with some of the qualities of both. In fact, it's enjoyable enough that I would relish the chance to see this on a big screen in 35mm sometime.

I've got an Italian bootleg of this that someone sent me a few years ago, just tried to watch it the other day, its pretty dreadful, had to turn it off.
You may remember me from such sites as imdb, amazon and criterionforum as Ben Cheshire.

Although Orson disliked walking in several scenes when Milian rode behind him, this is one of the most interesting of the Italian political Westerns by Guilio Petroni discussed in a recent book on the Italian Western that does not acknowledge one crucial source in which a whole chapter was devoted to the theme in 1975. In fact the accomplished Milian experienced the same type of neglect as did Orson when he returned to America since he is also a very accomplished actor.
