wrote C. Murillo in the daily ABC: "My dear friend Jose Maria Zabala, filmmaker, playwright and character quite Baroja, is filming three movies at a time. This news was just read in the newspapers, and I was not surprised at all. First, because no case of Zabalza nothing surprises me. And second, because the thing is not new. The idea was embryonic but it existed. Practically, this was done now.
Dyanik Zurakowska and Fernando Sánchez Polack.
-ingenious procedure de Zabalza is shooting three films simultaneously very similar environment-specifically three " westerns" -. He has written three screenplays and wheel with almost the same performers, drawing on all three films the same scenarios, natural or otherwise. He has three films in the head, and there is no more difficult; of intensive day and a good memory for three scripts. Otherwise would have been impossible feat no one has the gift of ubiquity, no one can, shoot a film just because it's exhausting, moving to different sets or different field in the same day for three films of different environment.
Michael Rivers, Dyanik Zurakowska and Fernando Sánchez Polack.
So this use of some interpreters, and, most importantly, a few sets, and the film was made long ago, and above all, has always been the prevailing tone in the production of films for television . (17-10-1969)
José Truchado.
The above three westerns are " lead over Dallas", "Arizona rebels" and this " Twenty thousand dollars for a corpse " we'll try.
What kind of lonely is this?
The film begins with the death of a burglar in the house of a couple of farmers. A police court scene, indeed. The woman goes to aid the thief and leaves her husband wounded on the ground to drop the viewer into the trap. He reported the incident to the sheriff of the town and is the assailant was a dangerous thug who constantly had threatened the railway works, which carries a reward of twenty thousand dollars. But back home the farmer to pay, the first thing that happens is stolen.
The boldness of the direct three films simultaneously is remarkable, but unfortunately, the results are quite disappointing. None of them deserves to be anything but forgotten. In fact, there are scenes that are repeated in two or all three movies, including the burning of the ranch, and Zurakowska Dyanik actress of the same dress in "Arizona rebels." All that is noticed and almost always wrong, because the assembly is simply atrocious. Pray the band of outlaws is on top of a cliff now are raiding a stagecoach in a plain. Whole accumulation of nonsense which ultimately mislead the viewer, who ultimately does not know what to expect: the characters appear and disappear magically, who you think is the main actor role to lose half of footage are happening very long scenes shots and shots and reverse plans that have nothing to do ...
In the interest of the filmmaker is saying that just makes use of zoom, so in vogue at the time (think of the westerns of Sergio Garrone and enter me dizzy). Indeed, one of them used to open the field in a long sequence shot strangely denoting certain craft. Zabalza address is functional, because if it is necessary to move the camera, it does not. Also strange to roll night scenes, when the usual in these cases was to use the American night.
Dyanik Zurakowska.
The cast is very weak in general. Solo Dyanik sweet Zurakowska seems to try something look like a real person (how well this woman was suffering!). Michael Rivers, which is not Miguel Rios, but Miguel de la Riva, is frightening. Just recited, without setting in motion any muscle in your body. Joseph plays the meanest Truchado function. Among the rest, emphasize the professionalism of the veterans José Marco and Fernando Sánchez Polack.
of music also have to talk, because it's a ridiculous indescribable. More than a Western seems to belong to a children's movie set in a circus or fair. Comes signed by Ana Satrova, whose musical credits are always associated with the filmmaking of Zabalza. Somebody correct me if not, but I think it was his wife.
Did you know ...?
would go further still the director Irun in 1972: he shot " The return of the vampire " in just 24 hours. When asked if he believed that doing so was serious, he replied tersely: "Well, I do everything I do, I do it for fun." Quite a character.
