Find a Place to Die (Italian original title Joe... cercati un posto per morire!) is a 1968 Italian Spaghetti Western. Shot in Italian and running 89 minutes, it is described as a remake of the 1954 American western Garden of Evil. The leads are the American actor Jeffrey Hunter and the French actress Pascale Petit.

Giuliano Carnimeo, credited under his usual pseudonym Anthony Ascott, directed, with some sequences shot by Hugo Fregonese, who also produced the film. The screenplay is credited to Carnimeo, Fregonese and Leonardo Benvenuti. Nello Pazzafini, Daniela Giordano and Reza Fazeli are among the supporting players, along with Adolfo Lastretti, Umberto Di Grazia and Piero Lulli.

The film opened in Italy on 21 September 1968. Its German premiere followed on 20 June 1969 as Ringo, such dir einen Platz zum Sterben; in France it was known as Ringo cherche une place pour mourir and in Spain as Oeste sin fronteras. A nude scene featuring Pascale Petit brought restrictive ratings, an X in the United Kingdom and an R in the United States.

Through different eyes

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

Say spaghetti western and you expect dusty trails, guns and hard men, and an 89-minute running time suits the pace. Being a remake of Garden of Evil suggests the story rests on a solid adventure skeleton. Jeffrey Hunter leads, with Nello Pazzafini and Daniela Giordano in support. If you like the genre, it is a decent pick for an evening; anyone hoping for something new may run into familiar patterns.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humour and heart.

Not one for family viewing. A nude scene featuring Pascale Petit earned the film an X rating in the UK and an R in the US. Being a western, you can expect gunplay too. Don't put it on with children or teens around; let adult western fans watch it on their own. Even if the grandparents love old westerns, keep this warning in mind before choosing it.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Find a Place to Die is a remake that carries the 1954 Garden of Evil into the Italian western tradition, which invites comparison from the outset. The most intriguing thing about it is the split behind the camera: Giuliano Carnimeo is credited as director under his usual pseudonym Anthony Ascott, while some sequences were shot by producer Hugo Fregonese. Divided direction of this kind always carries a risk to stylistic unity. A screenplay credited to Carnimeo, Fregonese and Leonardo Benvenuti also shows that the script passed through several hands. The American and French backgrounds of Jeffrey Hunter and Pascale Petit reflect the international production model of the spaghetti western. For genre devotees, it is worth a footnote.
