Knives of the Avenger (1966)I coltelli del vendicatore
In their third and final collaboration, Cameron Mitchell stars for Mario Bava as a Viking drifter torn between guilt, vengeance and his love for a peasant woman and her young srin. Co-written by Bava (as John Hold), the film delivers robust raping and pillaging yet proffers a uniquely humanist approach that virtually re-imagines Shane as a Viking drama. The result transcends its typically chest-thumping genre to emerge as one of Bava's most emotionally complex and visually compelling films. - Director:
