Early 1964 Spaghetti western by Sergio Corbucci where
Cameron Mitchell plays the middle-age gunslinger Minnesota Clay who's
turning blind but have to protect his daughter and her village from
both corrupt american gangsters as méxican ditto.
Minnesota Clay (Mitchell) is doing hard labour in a
prison quarry after having shot some men. Clay says he's innocent and
that he
shot those men in self defence, but the only man that can testify to
that is someone called Fox (Georges Riviere) and Clay escapes
from prison to find Fox. On his way Clay saves a woman travelling in
a stage-coach from attacking bandits, and she's Estella (Ethel
Rojo) and she's the mistress of Méxican bandit leader Don Ortiz
(Fernando Sancho, who else?).
(As i could see, a horse may have been killed for real here when it
falls in an extremely nasty way, accidently, but still nasty).
Clay is on his way to the city of "Mesa Encantada"
where two gangs fights over the control of the city, the Méxican
gangster
gang of Don Ortiz and the Fox gangster gang. When Clay arrives the city
is ruled by Fox, who's the sheriff, and his men.
The citizens are harassed, extorted and killed and in bad need of a
man who can clean the city up, who could that man be ?
Fernando Sancho plays yet another sweaty Méxican gangster boss
and Ethel Rojo (Argentinian actress) the femme fatale.
