Sonny and Jed
Sonny and Jed (Italian: La banda J. & S. - Cronaca criminale del Far-West, lit. "The J. & S. Gang - Criminal Chronicle of the Far West"), also known as Bandera Bandits, is a 1972 Italian Spaghetti Western film about a sheriff's (Sheriff Franciscus, played by Telly Savalas) relentless effort to stop a robber (Jed, played by Tomas Milian) and his girlfriend (Sonny, played by Susan George). The film was directed by Sergio Corbucci and is noted for its music, scored by Ennio Morricone.
Jed Trigado is a solitary bandit who steals from the rich to give to the poor, in the Mexican region of Bandera.
The Spaghetti Western Movie Database recalls that "The film was almost unanimously labelled as a failure upon its initial release" and considers that the film is "Not an easy film. As a comedy it's often too crude to be funny, and as a western it's a bit short on action. There are moments of intense, violent action, but they're few and far between." However the same review praises "Morricone's unobtrusive, wistful score (that) serves the movie quite well" and depicts some visual aspects of the film as of "Fellinesque beauty."
