If you loved Der gebrochene Pfeil, try Zähl bis drei und bete
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Delmer Daves, and they sit in Drama / Western territory. If that's the register that drew you to Der gebrochene Pfeil, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Zähl bis drei und bete is
Contention, Arizona. Midday heat. A stagecoach robbery gone wrong. Impoverished rancher Dan Evans agrees to deliver captured outlaw Ben Wade to the authorities for hanging. The assignment becomes a cat-and-mouse game of morality as Wade’s vicious gang closes in. A cynical, tight little film from a director better known for melodrama.
