Minnesota Clay (Le Justicier du Minnesota, 1964)

German Koch Media - Explosive Media 2021 Blu-ray edition


 

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.

The film is presented in widescreen 1.85:1 with english or italian audio DTS-HD MA 2.0 with english subtitles, region B, extras an
Italian - French trailer, a picture gallery and a Western Trailer Reel (15 minutes)
