Nest of Vipers & Tails You Lose

Double Dose of Western Thrillers
The latest release from Wild East Productions boasts a double feature which blends the Spaghetti Western with the suspense thriller in two rare films starring two underrated American actors. Up first is the best of the lot, Director Piero Pierotti's (here billed as Peter E. Stanley) 'TAILS YOU LOSE' aka 'HEADS OR TAILS' aka 'TESTA O CROCE'- 1969 starring John Ericson as an outlaw trying to solve a murder plot involving an innocent prostitute whom he is in love with. Here the actresses shine as we have incredible performances by Sheyla Rosin and Danila Surima as well as an early appearance by Euro cult babe Edwige Fenech years before her Giallo thrillers with Director Sergio Martino and who graduated to sex comedies and here is involved in a brutally strong whipping sequence. Ericson is awesome as he disposes of the suspects leading to a tragic ending. It boasts a beautiful music score by Carlo Savina and intense camerawork by Fausto Zuccoli. Next we have character actor Luke Askew...
