Spaghetti-Western

Stranger, make the sign of a cross (Straniero, fatti il segno della croce)

D: Demofilo Fidani ("Miles Deem"); B: Corrado Patara (also C); M: Marcello Gigante; with: Giovanni Scarciofolo ("Jeff Cameron"), Charles Southwood; Fabio Testi; Ettore Manni 

 

Carson Donovan (Ettore Manni) controls the nest White City with his mob, while his brother James ("Max Dean" = Massimo Righi) and his men care for enough money in the till. From time to time James improves his meager salary with bank- and casino-robberies. A nameless bountyhunter (Jeff Cameron) re-establishs law and order.

 

The gunslinger says

Limp, but quite brutal film made by Demofilo Fidani (as "Miles Deem") in 1968. Remarkably that amazingly many women and children are killed, even for a Spaghetti-Western.

 

Rating: $

 

Bodycount: 16; 5 women; 3 kids

 

Explicit brutalities:

- James Donovans right hand Zoppo (Fabio Testi) kills a carping female bank customer like Sentenza: firing through a cushion in the face

- James Donovan brings an old lady with an unerringly thrown knife to the silence

- the bandits over-ride three little boys, playing in the street

- Camerons men give the foreigner the stick, in order to find out his name

- After robbing the money of Farmer Sullivan the gangsters rape the housewife. She kills her tormentor with a knife, as result she receives a peace of lead by James Donovan

- the doctor is paid with lead, after the operation of James Camerons fails

 

Love:

The nameless one diverts himself with bar woman Trudy (Simone Blondell = Fidani's daughter Simonetta Vittelli), but she squeals him to Camerons gang. Cheers! 0/10.

 

Splatter: 1/10

 

Specials:

- The nameless one owns a canteen with inserted mirror and integrated colt, which renders him useful services.

- A revolver built into a sprag is a big surprise for Trudy.
