i have high hope for this film when i saw the listing and decide to watch it on tv and uninterrupted by commercial break . i have like lee van cleef in many movie but i be afraid that have the other character call him chris repeatedly doesn not turn him into even a reasonable facsimile of yul brenner chris . i find this movie to be a complete disappointment the music sound track try to impart the magnificence portray in the original but it too fail to bring the film up the the standard of the original . the rich texture of the character in the original be mostly miss from this film . i guess if you haven not see the original it would be okay . too many clichés and too little depth to the character . i miss the humanity and compassion and the three dimensional character of the original .
