[거사 주]: 이 영화는 이태리/프랑스/독일 합작으로 만든 코미디 스파게티 서부극이다. 1968년에 만든 'Once Upon a Time in the West'에서 악역으로 출현하여 미국인에게 충격을 줬던 Henry Fonda가 나이들은 전설의 총잡이 Jack Beauregard로 나온다. 150명의 갱단을 홀로 맞섰던 Jack은 Nobody와 뉴올리언스에서 최후의 결투를 하여 Jack이 분명히 쓰러졌는데, 유럽으로 가는 배의 선실에서 Nobody에게 애정 어린 작별의 편지를 쓴다. 그의 젊은 상대는 더 빠른 'Nobody'로 이태리 출신 Terence Hill.  그리고 역시 Sergio Leoneo의 줄거리 구상, 배경음악엔 Ennio Morricone.

My Name Is Nobody (ItalianIl mio nome è Nessuno) is a 1973 Italian/French/German international co-production comedy spaghetti Western starring Terence Hill and Henry Fonda. The film was directed by Tonino Valerii and based on an idea by Sergio Leone and the music by Ennio Morricone.

Plot: Jack Beauregard is an aging gunslinger who wants to retire peacefully to Europe. After watching him quickly shoot three gunmen who attempted to ambush him in a barbershop, the barber's son asks his father if there is anyone in the world faster than Beauregard, to which the barber replies, "Faster than him? Nobody!"

Beauregard pauses to watch a down-and-out catching fish before continuing to an old goldmine. He finds his friend Red dying after an attack by a gang. Beauregard asks Red about the whereabouts of "Nevada", but Red manages to disclose only Nevada's village before dying. At a horse relay station, the down-and-out is asked by three men to deliver a basket to Beauregard inside, where he talks to Beauregard, revealing his detailed knowledge of Beauregard's feats. He throws the basket outside, where the bomb that was hidden within explodes.

The bum introduces himself as "Nobody". He idolizes Beauregard and wants him to end his career in style by taking on all 150 of the Wild Bunch single-handed. The bandits are using a worthless goldmine to launder their stolen gold. Sullivan, the mine owner fronting for them, believes Beauregard is trying to kill him, so he tries to kill Beauregard first.

Arriving at Nevada's village, Beauregard finds Nobody already there, and he reveals that the Nevada Kid, Beauregard's brother, is dead. Nobody again unsuccessfully tries to get Beauregard to take on the Wild Bunch. Arriving in a town, Sullivan hires Nobody to kill Beauregard, but Nobody instead helps Beauregard to take out Sullivan's men. The Wild Bunch ride into town to collect sticks of dynamite, stashing them in their saddlebags.

Later, an old man tells Beauregard that he was bought-out of a worthless goldmine by his partners Nevada and Red, only to have the mine produce much gold afterwards. Beauregard hurries off to the mine and catches Sullivan loading sacks of gold powder. Sullivan offers Beauregard Nevada's share, but Beauregard tells him he could not care less about his brother, and takes just two sacks, as well as $500 to pay for his passage to Europe. He then leaves to catch a train to New Orleans.

Nobody steals a train that is being loaded at a station with bars of gold, guarded by soldiers. Beauregard is waiting down the line when the Wild Bunch charge towards him across a featureless plain. Nobody arrives with the train but refuses to rescue Beauregard until he "makes his name in the history books". Remembering the mirrored conchas on the gang’s dynamite-filled saddlebags, Beauregard shoots them and takes out most of the gang until Nobody lets him board the train.

In New Orleans, Beauregard and Nobody duel in the street, with a photographer and many spectators on hand. Nobody is faster, and Beauregard falls to the ground, apparently dead. The remaining members of the Wild Bunch see it and switch their search to the anonymous Nobody. Later, Nobody walks by the ship that was to take Beauregard to Europe, where Beauregard is revealed to be in his cabin aboard, writing Nobody an affectionate farewell.(-)
