Content: As Glen Garvin (Roel Bos), called “Django”, remarks, that the corpse on the saddle of bountyhunter Ringo is his father, he‘s not very amused: He kills Ringo (José Manuel Martin), but brings his dead father to the little town of Silver Creek to cash the bounty of 5.000 dollars for him. The village is controlled by bank director Cluster (Nando Gazzolo), who owns the whole local economy. But Gordon (Fernando Sancho), a real dawdler, who offers Django his services, tells him, that Cluster and his father were business partners, and that the half of all is entitled to him, Django. This is music to the ears of the enterprising son, who of course wants to accept his inheritance. Cluster, who has posted the bounty on the head of his former partner, isn’t still not yet in the mood to part. So he tries to dispose of the unwanted successor: firstly by offering a compensation, secondly with the help of his gunman Ward (Guido Lollobrigida) and finally by framing Django a bank robbery and a murder. Turbulent times for Django, Gordon and the somewhat morose Doc (Alberto Lupo), who has personal reasons to join the two confederates.
| The Gunslinger says: Above average SW by Alberto de Martino, despite it sadly doesn’t keep the nice cynical note of its opening sequence. Whatta nice idea to pocket the bounty of the wrinkly and meet demands for the burial with the money. But even without cynicism the story around the unexpected heritage is really entertaining. The cast is skilled, and even the dandified and wooden Roel Bos makes the grade this time. Striking are the good camera work and the score by Nicolai, which combines horns, guitars and percussion to a delicious Bolero soup, flavoured with church bells and early electro sounds. So forget about, that the film towards it’s end tries to play down the fact, that there’s nothing more to tell with a big brawl and an unimportant side-step. Finally it gets its act together for a nice finale, in which Luca Montefiori (“George Eastman”) gives a short appearance.
