Umberto Raho
Doc Malvin (Carl Moehner) suffers under a lack of luck: Descended
from a well-known surgeon to an alcoholic and professional player, he kills a young hot spur in self-defence, which accuses
him of wrong plaything. Promptly 10,000 dollars are suspended on his head, that call bountyhunter Slade (Luis Davila) on the
plan. On his escape the Doc "dies", and he accepts the identity of the dead gunslinger Larry Kitchener, "The man with the
golden gun" by taking his papers and clothes. But unfortunately Kitchener was on the way into the small town Baldosas, to
assist the inhabitants in the fight against "General" Pablo Reyes (Fernando Sancho), whose gang terrorizes the area. And exactly
there our Doc arrives, who now gets the sheriff job as Kitchener.. Slade, who does not believe in dying Malvin, hires as deputy.
But first the two must concern with the more badly mayor Brogan (Umberto Raho), who has engaged Sanchez, in order to come
cheaply to the country of the citizens. And why? Guessed: The railway will drive the value of properties up.
The gunslinger says:
Average film, which Alfonso Balcazár produced tautly and
without considerable lengths in 1966. No masterpiece, but owing to good actors, appropriate equipment and atmosphere entertainment
is guaranteed..
Rating: $$$
Bodycount: 6 Gringos, 66 Mexicans, 1 Woman
Explicit brutalities:
Fernando Sancho as a slimy bandit boss Reyes is again the right
man for some brutal actions
- he kills at least five of his own men without having a cause
- occasionally he includes a shooting of hostages
- from revenge he and his mobsters beat up the Doc, whereby boiling
water is used also
Love:
Even if tough widow Norma O'Connor (Maria Fič = "Gloria Milland")
falls in love with the Doc after initial resistance, he doesn't show any interest: 0/10
Splatter: 2/10
