face to face (1967)

aka Faccia a faccia.
"I want to ride with you."
History teacher Brad Fletcher (Gian Maria Volonté), moves west for the sake of his health and meets outlaw Solomon 'Beauregard' Bennet (Tomas Milian). Fascinated by Bennet's way of life Fletcher quickly becomes involved, bringing his book smarts to the gangs activities. Unfortunately one of the gang is actually a Pinkerton man (William Berger), determined to disrupt their best laid plans.
Entertaining western that concentrates on the moral conflicts of the two major characters, (whilst still throwing in lots of action), where one becomes more civilized, the other falling prey to his more bestial instincts.
