True, they didn’t have dollars in the Hyborian Age.
As for the film, it felt very American for the first half hour (cavalry, ballroom-dancing, whistling, trumpeting and heroic all-male choir singing), then a lot more like the real thing, only to end in an American fashion (Dumas’ novel had a more grim ending, if I remember correctly?).
Not really a happy ending but not totally bleak either, rather conciliatory: “Warten und Hoffen!” are the last three words in my German edition from 1978. Wait and hope.

This one finally made it into my player, and what can I say, I thought it’s a fascinating kaleidoscope of the western genre up to that point in time. There’s a bit of everything from that genre on display - influences from early two-reelers through the classic US western period right up to the most current early Leone are clearly visible. And the score just goes along with it, stylistically jumping between several decades.
So, although it’s clearly not an A-lister, and it’s quite (very!) derivative and even a bit pedestrian at times, I couldn’t help but enjoying it.
About the only thing I really didn’t like was the fencing. And the makeup of Molino Rojos partner. 
Had me a little confused also … the open title with the cavalry and theme song is pure John Ford, 1940s / 50s … and Robert Woods looks to be of that time period also, yet he’s just a year away from playing ‘Pecos’, which is a full on SW creation.
TBH, I can’t remember much about the film, having only watched it once … I do recall that it picks up quite a bit once we get away from the old school American western style and the rather cliched love rival business.
I should dig it out again … maybe for this year’s ‘Spagvemberfest’
Though it has been quite some time since I’ve seen this one myself, I remember liking it because of that fact.
Amazing movie to watch and enjoy to watch again. I have opened a website of Robert WOODS filmography and it’s long to update but little by little I’ll add all his movies, including westerns too
