Plot: There are some movies I saw when I was very young, which obsesses me, because I don't remember the action well. I just know that, as a child, theyimpressed me. All I remember is an image that was imprinted in my mind or a musical passage or something. This is one of those movies. For me, this simple film with peasants working a patch of dry, arid land, takes me thinking about a Western, although there are no guns and no shots, only some horses. This is probably because it was made the same year as "A Fistful of Dollars" (1964), a film that really influenced me deeply. Stefan Mihailescu-Braila reminds me of Eli Wallach from "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". Victor Iliu was a good professional of cinema, but this last production of his is nothing more than asubtle communist propaganda, not completely disgusting like many of the Romanian film productions that were to follow in the 70's and especially in the 80's. Ion Caramitru in his first role in a film. The 5 stars are all for Stefan Mihailescu-Braila, one of the 4 best Romanian actors ever, the other 3 being Puiu Calinescu, Toma Caragiu and Gheorghe Dinica, unfortunately, all dead.
