Content: It’s boom time in the US after Civil War is over. Only the little town of Springfield stays in poverty, because of the activities of a gang, leaded by Bill Carson (Armando Calvo), committing bank robberies and the hold-up of stage coaches. Things work out fine for the desperados, who are supported by one of the local dignitaries, who saves them from the adjustments by the authorities. Furthermore he washes the dirty money with the help of Mexican intermediaries. Bountyhunter Dan Samuelson (Piero Lulli) and ex-officer Alan Brighton (Pietro Martellanza) want to stop Carson’s business. The gang pulls clear from their hunters, fleeing to Utah. Her they take over a Mormon’s farm, after having killed the real proprietors. But Samuelson and Brighton penetrate this charade and are ready for their first visit on the farm, which won’t survive many of the wrong mormons.
| The Gunlinger says: Barely average effort by Rafael Romero Marchent, who makes basically the mistake to trust on the abilities of Pietro Martellanza. This is a nice side-kick, but obviously overcharged in the lack of talent and charisma. Piero Lulli does a good job, this time not as rogue, as well as Armando Calvo as cowardly leader of the pack. Generally the film suffers from a deficiency of tempo and tension: Even the brutal killing of the Mormons is staged uninspired. Even worse is, that Marchent gives away the possibilities, offered by the dramatic final twist. Well, but de Masi’s score once again is nice: trumpets, guitars, orchestra and bluesharp summarize to a fine title theme.
