THE PRICE OF POWER (1969)
Giuliano Gemma stars in this spaghetti-western about a plot to assassinate the president. Since we're in the old west the president is supposed to be James Garfield but since this was made in the late 60's it's more of a commentary on John Kennedy's murder. It gets very bogged down in political talk, conspiracy theories, cover ups and all types of other things that make for a boring movie. There is a black hero character which is pretty rare in these types of films and a message of racial equality and all that. Probably my favorite thing about this whole film is the cool soundtrack by Luis Bacalov but besides that I would say this one's not the most memorable. AKA A BULLET FOR THE PRESIDENT
