The Ugly Ones (es: El precio de un hombre, lit. "The Price of a Man", it: The Bounty Killer, later La morte ti segue... ma non ha fretta, lit. "Death follows you... but not in a hurry") is a 1966 Spanish-Italian spaghetti Western film directed by Eugenio Martín.[1]
The film marked the debut of Tomás Milián in the western genre[2] and was the first film score of composer Stelvio Cipriani. It was also the first Spanish western to receive a state funding for the "artistic interest of the work".[2] The film was based on the 1958 novel The Bounty Killer by Marvin H. Albert.
It was shown as part of a retrospective on Spaghetti Western at the 64th Venice International Film Festival.[3] On October 11, 2017 Eugenio Martín was honored for the fiftieth anniversary of this at the 7º Almería Western Film Festival.[4][5]
