In order of merit:


1.La Resa Dei Conti (1966) ***
2.Faccia A Faccia (1967) ***
3.Il Corsaro Nero (1976) **1/2


The first two are among the finest non-Leone Spaghetti Westerns and the third, apparently, was a box office phenomenon when released theatrically over here; I caught it in the late 80s on VHS but I can't say I remember much about it, least of all whether it merited such attention! I wouldn't mind watching a few of Sollima's other films, especially CORRI, UOMO, CORRI (1968), CITTA` VIOLENTA (1970) and REVOLVER (1973).
