I BASTARDI-(THE
BASTARD)-1968-In New Mexico, Jason (Giuliano Gemma) and Adam (Klaus
Kinski) are jewel thieves brothers. When the milk drinking Jason won't give up
the jewels he stole Adam has him beaten up and tricks him into
revealing where the stash is. It also turns out Jason's girlfriend
Karen (Margret Lee) is Adam's lover. Adam has Jason's shooting hand
maimed and leaves him to wander in the desert where he's taken in by
ranch owner Barbara (Claudine Auger) who teaches him to write with his
other hand. They become lovers but all the while Jason is plotting
his revenge. After they rob an armored car Jason visits his weird
alcoholic mother (Rita Hayworth). He goes for revenge but there's an
earthquake. While Karen is killed, Adam survives, rescued by his baby
brother who then shoots Adam to death. Jason is in turn shot
(soundlessly) by his mother. This Italian German France co-production
directed by Duccio Tessari isn't very good but any movie with Klaus
Kinski playing the son of Rita Hayworth is all right with me. Joan Crawford was
originally suppose to play the Hayworth role but dropped out over
complaints about the script.
Thanks for reading!
