SO LONG, GEORGE HILTON...
You rode high and strong, Mr. Hilton, with no time for tears or superfluous sensitivity: a man's man who engaged in roughness and danger.
On the western plane, you galloped through "Massacre Time"; "Poker with Pistols"; "A Moment to Kill"; "Any Gun Can Play"; "The Ruthless Four"; "Trusting is Good...Killing is Better"; "A Bullet for Sandoval"; "Sartana's Here...Trade Your Pistol for a Coffin"; "Two Sons of Ringo"; "They Call Me Hallelujah"; "Return of Hallelujah"; "Man Called Invincible"; "Holy God Here Comes Passatore"; "One More to Hell"; and "Mark of Zorro '75", where you swashbuckled as the titular hero.
On the giallo/thriller scene, you infiltrated "The Strange Case of Ms.Wardh"; "The Case of the Scorpion's Tail"; "The Case of the Bloody Iris"; "All the Colors of the Dark"; "My Dear Killer"; "The Two Faces of Fear"; "The Devil Has Seven Faces"; "The Killer Must Kill Again"; "Sweetly You'll Die Through Love"; and "Dinner with a Vampire".
You were the last of a vanishing breed: unapologetic for perpetuating a stony, screen persona, but for those who care...for those who appreciate uncompromising virility...you'll stand as an ideal blueprint on how it can and should be done.
