a.k.a. The Dirty Game
This multi-national anthology seems to be intended as a “grounded” counterpoint to the more excessive spy thrillers common in the sixties. The James Bond films are the most well-known of these, though are certainly far from the only ones. There was an entire “Eurospy” genre, driven by the success of 007, and we’ve already covered some of them already, including Coplan Saves His Skin and Only the Cool. These took various approaches, from the serious to comedic spoofs, and from the down-to-earth to entries that made even the more ludicrous entries in the Bond franchise seem sober by comparison. Given their inspiration, the presence of Young as a director of a segment here is interesting, since he helmed three official 007 entries: the first “proper” adaptation Dr. No, plus From Russia With Love and Thunderball.
Here, there are three separate stories, unfolding over the space of slightly more than two hours in the fullest version (there’s a 133-minute director’s cut according to the IMDb). However, the American release was severely edited, runnin

It seems a bit unfair this one has been almost forgotten, since there are a number of aspects which would become mainstays of the spaghetti sub-genre. Of course, this isn’t Italian: being German (technically, a West German-Austrian co-production); maybe we need to call it a sauerkraut Western? Though it’s far from the first Euro-western, or even the first German entry. With this being Klaus’s debut though, it seems a good point for a brief history of them.
As early as 1906, director Jean Hamman made Le Cowboy, later claiming in his autobiography that this was the first Western film. The first Italian entry was, of all things, a vampire Western, La Vampira Indiana, made in 1913. What’s particularly noteworthy is, it was directed by Sergio Leone’s father, Vincenzo Leone, and starred his mother, Bic
