Reader Allen Miller brought my attention to a nice bit of trivia. In the film “Buckaroo” (aka “The Winchester That Does Not Forgive) made in 1967 the scene in the sheriff’s office has a framed photo of Aldo Sambrell (from “Navajo Joe” hanging on the wall and several curious wanted posters for Fred Duskin and Clay McCord hanging on the wall behind the sheriff and another mentioning amnesty. These characters and amnesty were central to “A Minute to Pray, a Second to Die” made the same summer. Also the town is called New Tuscosa.
Here’s the same poster showing up in “A Minute to Pray, a
Second to Die”.
Thanks to Michael Ferguson’s research he found this May 24, 1967, Variety article that “Minute to Pray” vacated the jail days before Dean Reed was incarcerated on the Elios lot.
Mike says, “I can't believe Corbucci left the film so he could finish up the Tab Hunter & Gordon Mitchell crime/spy outing. Obvious Corbucci’s touch in the script the hero has a twitchy gun hand.”
