Director Enzo G achieved in 'Johnny Hamlet ' possibly one of his best works of an important career, with some memorable scenes, appropriate camera movement and descriptive close-ups.

The motion picture was professionally filmed by Enzo G Castell. Agreeable musical score by Francesco De Massi, Spaghetti's usual, including catching and evocative songs by Alessandro Alessandroni, usual collaborator to Ennio Morricone. This widely deemed picture, unlike most conventional Spaghetti Western, contains exceptional setting, colorful images with an atmospheric cinematography by Angelo Filippini. Furthermore, there appears usual Macarroni secondary actors such as John Bartha ,Ennio Girolami, director's brother, and Ignazio Spalla or Pedro Sanchez who used to play similar roles to great Fernando Sancho. Horst Frank as a cruelly baddie role is terrific, he steals the spectacle as a crazed psychopath former and subsequently he would play similar characters in various oaters. Nice acting by Gilbert Roland as Horace he starred some Spaghetti such as Sonora, Goldseekers, Any Gun Can Play and Between God, the devil and a Winchester. Good cast as Andrea Giordana who starred ¨Massacre at Grand canyon¨, 'The Dirty Outlaws' and this ¨Johnny Hamlet¨ at his best. There is a huge shootout in the ranch and a breathtaking face off between Andrea Giordana and Horst Frank. It's an exciting western with breathtaking showdown between the protagonists and hoodlums. Interesting Spaghetti packs drama, thrills, action, and lots of shots and gunplay. Then Johnny seeks vendetta against Santana, Claude and his underlings (Ennio Girolami, Pedro Sánchez). Santana/Polonius, a nasty Mexican outlaw, is supposed to have murdered Johnny's father. The latter is now the proprietary of the ranch and of all the ownerships of his daddy. Back in the family mansion, Johnny aware that not only has his deceased father has been murdered but that Gerty /Gertrude (Françoise Prevost), his mummy, has married her late husband's brother Claude Hamilton (Horst Frank). On his way back from the American Civil War (1861-1865), Johnny (Andrea Giordana) is visited in his sleep by the ghost of his father who lets him know that he has been killed and who asks him to revenge him. This Ravioli Western packs violence, shootouts, high body-count and it's fast moving and some moments genuinely entertaining. Decent Spaghetti adaptation of Hamlet with thrills, violence, shoot'em up and well set.
