VCI Entertainment presents "Any Gun Can Play" (1967) (Dolby digitally remastered)...also known as "For a Few Bullets More", "Go Kill and Come Back" and "Vado... l'ammazzo e torno" (Original Foreign title) Italian production featuring George Hilton, Gilbert Roland, Edd Byrnes and Kareen O'Hara...storyline of this Spaghetti Western is well thought out, with an opening that will have you reaching for your six guns...our cast works so well together, especially Gilbert Roland who steals every scene he appears in...just picture a bounty hunter, crooked banker and a bandit all searching for a fortune of buried gold...the music builds from composer Francesco De Masi and lends so much to the action with hard riding thrown in...shades of the famous showdown from "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" fall into place...this is not a classic, but a little gem just waiting to be discovered by movie goers who appreciate a thought provoking screenplay and good film making....this above average B-Western...
