The Gunslinger says:

Successful Western made by Ferdinando Baldi in 1966. The violent basic tendency is classical: One kills as at the assembly-line, but nobody gets really impressed of it. Thus about rinsing assistance Paquita cleans the bar of her Saloon with devotion, although there are four fresh corpses awaiting their disposal. After cleaning is done, she first times gathers the dollar lying on the floor. The actors are good, everything in front José Suarez, which equips Delgado with a certain ambivalence: pissed off somehow from his doing, which he enjoys only by it's sadistic arrangement.
