He has long been a Western legend: Durango, the true lonesome cowboy who shoots more than he talks. When he first appeared on the scene, he was almost a latecomer. John Wayne was already six feet under, and the Italian Western had already plowed through the prairie. You can see this in Durango: His debut owes a lot to the two Sergios, Leone and especially Corbucci. But by then, the two had already packed their saddlebags and moved on. However, Durango came and stayed. Since then, many other deserving Westerners have retreated to the great hunting grounds, but Durango, the silent avenger, still finds no peace. And that is what ultimately matters: who stays in the saddle the longest.
