Today It's Me...Tomorrow You!

Today It's Me...Tomorrow You! stars Montgomery Ford (real name, Brett Halsey) & follows one of the standard revenge plots common to the spaghetti western. A man is released from prison for a crime he did not commit. Once free, he hunts down the man who put him there. Our hero Kiowa has an additional reason for vengeance, the villain has also killed his wife.

This particular film moved a bit slow for my liking. Kiowa spends half the movie gathering his band of gunfighters without much gun-play action at all. Once the rag-tag band of men are together, they find and eliminate the banditos rather tamely & methodically. In a nut-shell, not much happens.

This film is notable for being written by a young Dario Argento and starring (in one of his first westerns) Bud Spencer, who would later team up with Terence Hill to form a long-lasting buddy-film duo. Other notable performers are Japanese actor Tatsuya Nakadai & Eurowestern regular William Berger.

Alternate Titles: Oggi a me... domani a te!; Today We Kill, Tomorrow We Die
