In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
I'm not surprised that THREE CROSSES NOT TO DIE has not accrued any reviews on this site thus far, because it's a particularly inept example of the spaghetti western genre. It was directed by journeyman director Sergio Garrone, who made the occasional item of interest - like DJANGO THE BASTARD - but generally made low budget, low skill productions like THE DOVE MUST NOT FLY and trash like SS EXPERIMENT LOVE CAMP.THREE CROSSES NOT TO DIE has an okayish story about a trio of gunfighters who meet an oppressed Mexican guy in prison and decide to help him battle a criminal gang. Plenty of action ensues, but none of it is very interesting and that's because of the cheap camera-work which basically spoils every moment. The film's triumvirate of heroes is played by genre mainstays Craig Hill, Giovanni Cianfriglia, and Franco Cobianchi, with Ida Galli in support as a feisty love interest. But the action is so poorly handled that I imagine most viewers will end up being frustrated by this one instead of entertained.
