D: Gianfranco Baldanello; B: Mario Damiani, Juan Antonio Verdugo; C: Leopoldo Villasenor Barco; M: Piero Umiliani; with: John Ireland, Fabio Testi, Rosalba Neri ("Sara Bay"), Julia Newmeyer ("Julie Newmar")

 

The rich Rancher Abel Webster (John Ireland) has concerns. On the one hand the beautiful halfblooded indian Catherine ("Sara Bay"), young wife of his son Ben, actually loves the wild outsider Ringo (Fabio Testi). Furthermore, Ben is not the father of the expected Webster inheritance. Secondly Abe catch up the spirit from the past again: 30 years ago he and a few buddies had annihilated an unarmed Indian trunk, in order to supply themself with low-priced country. The small boy "Condor" survived the massacre and now as a warrior he takes revenge.

 

The criticism of the Gunslinger:

Really poor film of Gianfranco Baldanello out of 1975, in which the good leading actors, everything in front the Canadian John Ireland as guilty Abe Webster, are used for heating like buffalo shit in wintertime. During the actual action strand, the dramatic love story between Catherine and Ringo, achieves nevertheless a certain level, the indian strand is only ridiculous. Bad, fat, obviously white actors costumed as indian chiefs make big "Pow-Wows" in the forrest, uuuh! Sixties icon "Julie Newmar", by the way the first Catwoman from the great Batman TV series, emerges in a bizare role as visionary indian Isidra.
