Content: A bunch of gangsters extorts the local farmers of Harlington of „protection money“. Farmer Red McIntire expects a little help of his two sons, George (John Fordyce) and John (Christopher Chittel), which study in the UK. As they arrive home, they have to experience, that life in the Wild West has nothing in common with life in the „Old World“. A mysterious stranger (Gianni Garko), called „Camposanto“, helps the two greenhorns out of some very serious mess and teachs them in using a gun. But real danger enters Harlington in the shape of gunslinger Duke (William Berger), an old friend of Camposanto, who is hired by the gangsters.
| The Gunslinger says: Good and humorous film, made by Giuliano Carnimeo („Anthony Ascott“) in 1971. Garko as „The Stranger“, which reminds me a little bit of his character "Sartana", and Berger as mercenary but sympathetic Duke had obviously much fun during the shooting. The score by Nicolai is „classic“: much guitars and male choirs. It’s the same with the great camerawork by Spaghetti-veteran Stelvio Massi, which puts forward e.g. many close-ups.
