D: Giorgio Stegani ("George Finley"), B: G.S., José Luis Jerez, Michèle Villerot; C: Francisco Sempere; M: Benedetto Ghiglia; with: Giuliano Gemma ("Montgomery Wood"); Roberto Camardiel, Jesus Puente, Ida Galli ("Evelyn Stewart"), Nello Pazzafini, Pierre Cressoy ("Peter Cross")

Brent Landers (Giuliano Gemma) has bad luck: First his old acquaintance Gil Clawson (Nello Pazzafini) sells him a stolen cattle herd, then he must kill the applied legal owner in self-defence. The result: A pretty sum of money is suspended on Lander's head. Now he has to prove his innocence and to take revenge on the true evil authors to the account. On his way he finds the pretty Lucy Tilson (Ida Galli), which scorchs naked in the desert sun, violated by Clawson's gang after they have robbed a stagecoach. These want to iron out their error again and try to kill the unpleasant witness and Landers. But it's too late: Together with Sheriff John Slaughter (Jesus Puente) and the Doc (Roberto Camardiel), which believe in Brents innocence, the two succeed moving things again straight.

The Gunslinger says:

 Average but quite entertaing film of Giorgio Stegani ("George Finley"), who worked also as film script writer for Giorgio Ferroni. Like many early Spaghetti-Western also this film of 1965 exhibits an American look. "Greenhorn" Giuliano Gemma ("Montgomery Wood") again is finally much more battered than at the beginning of the story. The strange to say not credited Nello Pazzafini (or ignored I an alias there?) commands a solid gang of rogues (among other ancestral personnel like Massimo Righi = "Max Dean").

Rating: $$$

Bodycount: 18 Gringos

Love:

Dried up desert beauty Evelyn and Brent finally fall in love: 1/10

Splatter:

The face of Evelyn exhibits some salient changes because of the strong sun exposure, and also the rusty hoof nail, which puts one of Clawson's men out of action, is not from pasteboard. To be silent completely of Gemmas flogging marks. 2/10
