Review :
THUNDER FROM THE WEST (Leopoldo Savona, 1969) **1/2
An obscure but fairly decent WWII actioner that has recently been shown on late-night Italian TV; the cast is made up of some moderately familiar faces like Gianni (1972's NIGHT OF THE DEVILS) Garko, Irina (1962's THE LONGEST DAY) Demick and Horst (1971's THE CAT O'NINE TAILS) Frank. Garko plays an Italian agent who doubles as a neutral Swiss citizen in his mission to track down the leader of the Hungarian resistance; Demick is a Jewish member of the Resistance who meets (and beds!) Garko on the initial train journey; and Frank is the proverbial Gestapo sourpuss who hounds both Garko (of whose mission and true identity he is obviously unaware) and Demick (for her unfortunate heritage). Besides, Garko's long-lost flame (the ailing Resistance leader's nurse) and a duplicitous female partisan are also added to the fray – the latter also managing to convince a practically converted Garko to diffuse an explosives-laden bridge! The tragic ending sees the nurse being shot in front of Garko's own eyes and the latter ironically expiring at the hands of the partisans themselves when they mistake him for – of all people – the hated (and recently deceased) Frank! Apart from the war sequences and the various car chases, much of the fun to be had here is attributable to the confrontations between Garko and Frank; amusingly enough, director Savona – of whose films I am familiar with just THE MONGOLS (1961) and BYLETH – IL DEMONE DELL' INCESTO (1972) – also makes use of much (and, in my opinion, irrelevant) combat stock footage throughout...including at the film's very coda!
