Yeah man, a young James Caan !!
While we're on card games....Newman was fantastic in this and so was Shaw.
This movie is massively under-rated in my humble opinion.
Gotta' love Spaghetti Westerns.
I like the part where Trinity placed the top cut back on top of the deck before he dealt . . . . :shocknaz:
Yea, I saw that.
Yeah, Viking humor . . . :shocknaz:
On the other hand, 19th Century Apache humor sometimes went that way as well. Check out Ulzana's Raid. Recap here.
I can't find a clip to show the scene where Rukeyser, a homesteader with insufficient common sense, is found hanging from his corral fence, skinned and burned, a dog's tail stuffed in his mouth. The cavalry scout says cryptically, "Even the Apaches have a sense of humor." What amused the Apache war party was that earlier in the movie Rukeyser told the US Cavalry patrol he didn't need to evacuate and would survive against the Apache marauders because his dog would sufficiently warn him whenever it might catch the scent of the war party's approach. An Apache bowman later crawls towards Rukeyser's homestead downwind of the animal. His arrows arch at high angle and the dog suspects no danger. The bowman shoots it dead with no warning bark. A surprised Rukeyser then quickly holes up in a barricaded house which the Apaches burn down. They stuffed the dead dog's tail in it's dead master's mouth because they thought the white man's faith in his canine pet was pretty funny.
Ulzana's Raid is a pretty brutal American Western by the way. Well acted but not for the faint hearted.

"He don't mean to fight ya no place, lieutenant. He only means to kill ya."
