D: Giuseppe Vari („Joseph Warren“); S: Augusto Caminiti, Ferdinando di Leo, Adriano Bolzoni; C: Amerigo Genagarelli, M: Coriolano („Lallo“) Gori, with: Mike Marshall, Claudio Undari („Robert Hundar“), Carol André, Hélène Chanel, Andrea Bosic, Paolo Giusti

Mr. Talbot (Andrea Bosic), who candidates for a seat in the senat, is in a good mood: Only two days to go until the election is held and he is on his way to Washington. But bad news reach the candidate’s ears. Idaho-Kent (Mike Marshall), a government’s galloper, is on his way with some explosive documents, which could easily replace the senator’s seat by a place on the gibbet. Different tries to kill Idaho fail and Talbot runs out of time. At the instance of his wife Dolores (Hélène Chanel), he hires gunman Luke Prentiss (Claudio Undari), a buddy of former times, to solve the difficult situation finally. But Kent proves, that there are no wimps working for the government.

The Gunslinger says:

Giuseppe Vari made this film in 1967. Unfortunately I could only see the crippled German version (BMG/Ufa), which has little more than two third of the original length. So I can’t rate it seriously. What I can say: good trumpet score by „Lallo“ Gori, an ambitious camerawork (lots of handcamera and some exeptional shots) and obviously quite mediocre acting efforts.

Rating: none

Bodycount: ca. 25 gringos

Explicit brutalities:

Instead of killing Idaho with a fast bullet, Talbot‘s men beat him up heavily and leave him to die. A big mistake ...

Luv‘:

Beautiful Susan (Carol André) falls in love with Idaho (or with his nice haircut?), but he is too cool for her: 1/10

Splatter: 0/10

Specials:

The showdown of Luke und Idaho is determined by a pianoforte with plays the Mexican tune „Adelita“.
