Biography

Né à Sienne en 1930, Franco Rossetti commence comme critique de cinéma et entre à la fin des années 1950 dans l'industrie cinématographique comme assistant-réalisateur, travaillant avec Roberto Bianchi Montero, Mario Monicelli et Steno.

En 1960, il commence une carrière de scénariste. Il travaille d'abord sur des péplums, comme Constantin le Grand (Costantino il Grande) de Lionello De Felice en 1960 ou Romulus et Remus (Romolo e Remo) de Sergio Corbucci en 1961, avant de profiter de l'essor du western spaghetti pour obtenir de nombreux crédits, participant notamment à l'écriture des scénarios de Django et Ringo au pistolet d'or (Johnny Oro) de Sergio Corbucci, Texas Adios (Texas, addio), T'as le bonjour de Trinita (Rita nel West) et Django, prépare ton cercueil ! (Preparati la bara!) de Ferdinando Baldi ou Ciak Mull (Ciakmull - L'uomo della vendetta) d'Enzo Barboni en 1970. Il participe également à la libre et légère adaptation du roman L'Homme qui rit de Victor Hugo pour le film éponyme de Corbucci en 1966 et travaille sur d'autres genres, comme le film d'espionnage avec Cible mouvante (Bersaglio mobile) de Corbucci en 1967, le musicarello avec Io non protesto, io amo de Baldi sortit la même année ou le drame social avec Zabriskie Point de Michelangelo Antonioni en 1970.

Il profite de ces succès pour faire ses débuts de réalisateur en 1967 avec le western Le Massacre et le sang (El Desperado). Il réalise au cours de sa carrière sept films et un téléfilm, couvrant différents genres en vogue à l'époque, comme le film policier avec Delitto al circolo del tennis (qui est adapté de la nouvelle éponyme d'Alberto Moravia), le decamerotico avec Una cavalla tutta nuda ou la comédie érotique avec Quel movimento che mi piace tanto ou Nipoti miei diletti, frôlant le mauvais goût et la pornographie avec Emanuelle et Johanna (Il mondo porno di due sorelle) qu'il sort sous le pseudonyme de Fred Gardner en 1978. En 1984, il réalise son dernier film, la comédie romantique Al limite, cioè, non glielo dico.

The film opens with a documentary-like scene in which white and black students argue about an impending student strike. Mark (Mark Frechette) leaves the meeting after saying he is "willing to die, but not of boredom" for the cause, which draws criticism from the young white radicals. Following a mass arrest at the campus protest, Mark visits a police station hoping to bail his roommate out of jail. He is told to wait but goes to the lock-up area, asks further about bail for his roommate, is rebuffed, calls out to the arrested students and faculty and is arrested. He gives his name as Karl Marx, which a duty officer types as "Carl Marx". After he is released from jail, Mark and another friend buy firearms from a Los Angeles gun shop, saying they need them for "self-defense" to "protect our women.

Django is a drifter who drags a closed coffin around with him. He rescues a young woman, María, who is about to be murdered by bandits led by Major Jackson (Eduardo Fajardo), the man whom Django is seeking and wants to kill in revenge for him for killing his wife. After killing most of Jackson's men, Django makes a deal with a Mexican bandit general, Hugo Rodriguez, who is in conflict with Jackson, and the two steal a large quantity of gold from a Mexican Army fort (where Jackson is doing business with a government general). When Rodriguez refuses to give Django his share of the haul, Django and Maria steal the gold. Unfortunately, the gold falls into quicksand. When Rodriguez catches up to them, María is shot (though she survives) and Django's hands are crushed by Rodriguez's men as punishment for being a thief. When the bandits return to Mexico, Rodríguez and his men are massacred by Jackson and the Mexican Army. After killing Nathaniel, Jackson goes looking for Django in a cemetery. However, Django, who has bitten off the trigger-guard of his pistol, kills Jackson and his five surviving men by pressing the trigger of his gun against the cross of the grave of a female acquaintance of Django's whom Jackson had killed and repeatedly dropping the hammer.

Renamed to cash in on the success of Duccio Tessari’s Ringo movies, Ringo and His Golden Pistol focuses on bounty hunter Johnny Oro/Ringo who sees killing as purely business, in fact he won’t draw his solid gold pistol unless he can profit from it and this will get him into trouble. He lets Juanito Perez live because there is nothing to gain from killing a man without a price on his head unlike his brothers who "Ringo" does kill. Perez swears revenge and faces off with "Ringo". Juanito has formed an alliance with the local Indian chief and is now prepared for an all out war against the peaceful town and sheriff that are protecting Ringo.

Although technically a Spaghetti Western, the plot of Texas, Adios plays more like a traditional American western film. Franco Nero plays two-fisted, taciturn Texas sheriff, Burt Sullivan, a man committed to duty and justice but possessed by a desire for revenge. Sullivan, along with his younger brother, crosses the border to bring wealthy and sadistic Mexican crime boss Cisco Delgado (José Suárez) to justice for the murder of their father. Eventually joining forces with a group of Mexican revolutionaries, Sullivan and his brother soon find themselves at the center of a bloodbath.

In this version, the character of Gwynplaine is renamed Angelo (played by Jean Sorel). His disfigurement is represented as a single broad slash across his mouth, crude yet convincing. While he deals with this, he also falls for a beautiful girl named Dea. The story (which is attributed, in the movie credits, to the director, producer and others involved in making the film, but not to Victor Hugo) pits the disfigured acrobat against the henchmen of the Borgias. At the end, Dea miraculously acquires her eyesight and Angelo undergoes surgery that completely reverses his disfigurement and renders him perfectly handsome.
