A Town Called Hell In Tamil Pdf Download





















































646f9e108c A group of Mexican revolutionaries murders a town priest and a number of his christian followers. Ten years later, a widow arrives in town intent to take revenge from her husband&#39;s killers. In 1895, in a small town ravaged by the Mexican Revolution, the revolutionary leader Aguila and his men massacre the town&#39;s locals and the military garrison soldiers.Ten years later Aguila,now a reformed priest, sees a newly-arrived woman who is looking for those responsible for murdering her husband. The town is run by the corrupt Don Carlos who promises to help Alvira find those who killed her husband,in return for the gold reward Alvira is offering. Don Carlos has no idea where Aguila is or what Aguila looks like but he&#39;s prepared to do anything in order to collect the gold reward offered by Alvira. Everything is complicated by the sudden arrival of the Mexican Army led by a brutal Colonel whose face looks very familiar to the town priest. &quot;A Town Called Hell&quot; is a wonderful western that takes place in Mexico, circa 1905. Telly Savalas plays a memorable role as a villain looking for a mysterious man named &quot;Augila&quot;. There is some good footage of hanging people. Telly Savalas&#39;s death scene is hilarious as it is brilliant. Martin Landau plays a jewish/mexican colonel who gets to wear a funny-looking brown mexican uniform, but no beanie. Robert Shaw, known for his classic performance as Quint in &quot;Jaws&quot;, plays a priest.... or is he? Stella Stevens, a has-been, plays a blond prostitute. There are some good action scenes and Johnny Horton&#39;s &quot;The Battle Of New Orleans&quot; can be heard in the soundtrack in a flashback scene at a mexican dance party. A man hiding underneath a deck tries to obtain a fallen coin above with a stick. A satired attack on a church opens up the film. Everything in it is fabulous. This is a hard to find film, along with 2 other mexican western classics, &quot;Blood and Guns&quot; and &quot;Villa Rides&quot;. See it, you&#39;ll laugh yourself silly. Released in 1971 and directed by Robert Parrish, &quot;A Town Called Hell&quot; (originally titled &quot;A Town Called Bastard&quot;) is a Euro Western about a Mexican town in 1915, which is more of a stone fortress than a conventional Western town, where everyone is seeking a man called Aguila, a mysterious revolutionary who massacred members of the town a decade earlier. Robert Shaw stars as the priest, Martin Landau as a brutal Mexican colonel, Stella Stevens as a vengeful widow and Telly Savalas as the corrupt mayor.<br/><br/>While Italians had nothing to do with this movie it smacks of a Spaghetti Western. Thankfully, it&#39;s thoroughly austere and lacks the goofiness of some Italo oaters. The grim atmosphere is palpable with dust and heat. Typical of Euro Westerns, the score by Waldo de los Ríos is notable. There&#39;s a constant sound in the background, almost like the chirping of crickets, but obviously manmade, which I&#39;ve never heard in a movie before. The cast is great, highlighted by Stevens&#39; beauty. Speaking of whom, why does she sleep in a coffin like a corpse? <br/><br/>The story&#39;s another matter, however. The first half of the movie involves everyone looking for this guy named Aguila. Then shortly after the midway point we discover who he is but, no, he&#39;s not really Aguila; and so the search continues as the movie shares flashbacks. At the very end one of the characters seems to find Aguila and shouts out his name, but who cares? I&#39;m sure if you re-watch the movie and pay close attention you might be able to put the pieces together, but the mumbling dialogue (with no subtitle option) would make it a difficult task. Still, the solemn ambiance, quality cast and interesting score make &quot;A Town Called Hell&quot; worth catching for those who favor creative Westerns. Unfortunately, just because something&#39;s creative doesn&#39;t mean it&#39;s good.<br/><br/>A UK/Spanish production, the film runs 87 minutes (some prints run about 5 minutes longer) and was shot in Spain.<br/><br/>GRADE: Borderline C/C- (4.5/10 Stars)
