Right, this is what Giusti says about it:
“It was presented in Italy as [a movie] directed by a certain Fred Ringoold, nom de plume of the dialogue director Alfredo Medori, but it’s generally considered to be the work of the more experienced Fernando Cerchio, who is, for example, credited as director on the Spanish language version, and who is, in any case, far more likely as the movie’s director”
Thanks …
I will change it in the database.
Ok film. Plot is nothing special, but Peter Lee Lawrence and Luis Dávila make it work. The attempts at humour were pretty bad though `Get my sombrero!´
Decided to check this PLP spag and as it turns out, it’s a dud for me. It never gets serious enough to be a good western. PLP is ok, but Luis Davila fares better as a mysterious stranger. There’s a long bar brawl that takes forever with fists flying everywhere, plus a few action scenes to move things along. The thing that pissed me off was the annoying bubble-head Mexican General with is side kick as the two most stupid baddies i’ve ever seen in a spagh. 3/10
A nice surprise, this light-hearted little spaghie
As mentioned in the review, I have no idea what this title is referring to. On one of the posters a rider is overlooking the scenery from a position high up on a mountain, and there are a lot of mountains in the movie, but this title still puzzles me. A biblical reference maybe?

@JonathanCorbett do you have any info on the Italian credits? All I can find are the Spanish. I would think they should include Agnès Spaak (Braddock’s sister), Silvio Bagolini, Empedocle Buzzanca (Curling the pool hustler) and Alberto Plebani (PLLs and Daphne’s father).
No, not yet.
This was a pleasant surprise as the reviews didn’t seem very promising but I ended up really enjoying it. The fan project I watched was good quality but the English audio drops out at the end. I have another copy with Hebrew subtitles and the full English dub. Hopefully this gets considered for a Blu-ray release.
Is there an HD version of this anywhere? A German dub exists so it would be great to see this released. How is the version on Amazon prime USA?
Death on High Mountain has been updated to the new layout (3.0). Let us know if you can add anything: pictures, posters, trivia, facts, figures, links, etc…
Ah, it is actually also on Amazon Germany and probably also on Youtube
I actually found it on a web site called DailyMotion a couple of years ago. It is divided into two parts but it is in English.
The German dub is a pretty bad one made for video or TV, probably in the 1990s or perhaps late 80s. I’d always prefer to watch it in Italian or English in these circumstances.
Sat1 tv, late 80s indeed. To market it properly a dub in the language of where u wanna sell it is essential though
For those interested, this one is available in the United States on Tubi (https://tubitv.com/). I haven’t finished, but been watching it there with a pretty decent dub.
Copied from the Spagvemberfest 2025 thread:
Just finished this one up on Tubi. Solid picture quality and I had a lot of fun with the film. I like a light hearted spaghetti every now and then(still with good action though). Some actual good comedic moments too. The review on this site sums it up perfectly 
Not a great film but I preferred it to One After One. It sort of peters out, especially because we already know who ‘The Boss’ is long before the hero characters find out.
You Tube offer an English version of the Spanish print which runs 87m34s (Pal I think) and there is also a Spanish version running 95m (Pal I think). The Spanish language version has an extra 3m of epilogue missing from the English language print - a further plot twist in which the money turns out to be fake again and then the real money is unveiled - and also a 1m mild fight between Loren and Mark earlier which looks missing due to print damage as there was a terrible edit. Must be some other stuff as well.
Spanish version has no credit for Agnes Spaak who has quite a large supporting role as the Saloon Madam who assists villain Braddock (some sources credit Spaak as ‘Daphne’ but Daphne, Loren’s sister, appears to be played by ‘Barbara Carroll’ whoever she might be). Spaak’s character is never referred to by name and I assumed she was Braddock’s mistress although one source thinks she is his sister. I noticed that Spaak and several of the Italian actors including Nello Pazzafini, also uncredited in the Spanish print, appeared only in the interior saloon scenes so I’m guessing those interiors were filmed in Italy so that might be why they don’t get credited on Spanish prints.
The music score is a series of Luis Bacalov library tracks from A Bullet for the General, Sugar Colt and Django (La Corsa intro). Bacalov is credited so money must have changed hands - possibly he handed them a 33 of his greatest hits and they paid his monthly rent.
