About If You Want to Live... Shoot!
A young cowboy, Johnny, playing in a rigged poker game is forced to shoot one of the other players. The cowboy takes quick leave as he is accused of murder and a reward for his capture is posted. After being wounded, he finds refuge on a ranch and becomes involved with the family. While he is away, a gang of Mexicans kills the McGowan family except for Sally, who manages to escape and find Johnny who is now out for revenge.
Directed by Sergio Garrone, If You Want to Live... Shoot! leans on a strong ensemble — Ivan Rassimov, Giovanni Cianfriglia, Riccardo Garrone — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about western titles of 1968.
