Viewing Notes

A hidden gem. I’d never heard of this film before, and it turned out to be super entertaining. A “spaghetti” western/heist film. Well-made with good action scenes and bits of humor thrown in.

Dario Argento was co-screenwriter and it’s rumored that he took over directing duties (uncredited) when Don Taylor couldn’t finish.
