Texas, Adios (1966) ***
Texas, Adios (aka Texas, Addio ) (1966) is a solid shoot-‘em-up with a memorable theme song written by the film's composer Antón García Abril and sung by Don Powell . Released just months after the more successful (and better) Franco Nero -starrer Django (1966), TA doesn't have the same finesse as many other Italian Westerns (even as Ferdinando Baldi attempts to ape the Leone extreme close-up). Additionally, Alberto Dell'Acqua 's (here playing the younger brother of Nero's character) reactions as a character are very inconsistent. There are some violent moments, but nothing shocking; TA has more in common with a traditionally-styled western like Peckinpah 's Ride The High Country (1962). No big surprises from this one; just a decent way to spend 90 minutes.
