...American flag outside the U.S. embassy. Then he moved on to Rome, where he starred in eight spaghetti westerns, and was arrested again in an anti-Viet Nam demonstration. During the 1960s, Reed also made several triumphant tours of the Soviet Union. Audiences there were impressed by his boyish good looks, syrupy baritone and eclectic repertoire of folk, rock and mellow protest songs.

If he needed to go to the toilet, he had to call Joan, who was often not around, or persuade Christina to disobey orders and release...
...cowboy (Keith Carradine) who has just spent the night in McCabe's frontier whorehouse, starts across a footbridge to purchase supplies for his trip home. He is confronted by a young gunman, one of three sent by a business conglomerate to coerce McCabe into selling out. The gunman, blond, boyish, and innocent-looking, asks Carradine what kind of gun he has. Carradine tells him, sheepishly admitting that he really doesn't know how to use it. "Come on, let me see it," the blond youth insists; as Carradine begins to withdraw the gun, the young gunman shoots him, and watches...
