While it’s not really a good-looking western and it looks a bit cheap, the story is really good. Quite a detective story with a real good script. Worth watching if you’re out for a good crime story with a western-town setting.
I am tired of getting up 6 o clock in the morning. Normally i can be awake till whenever but not in school time. too much stress?!
And don’t laugh only because you are a “night guy”.
I was quite impressed with this one apart from the stupid slapstick stuff with the fellas in the lake, which jarred with the rest of the film. I don’t know what Palli was thinking there. I guess he wanted to hedge his bets with the genre on it’s way out.
Good film but I was still little disappointed. I had an impression that this is something of a mixture of giallo thriller and spaghetti western. I’m also much interested of giallos so I was expecting something special but apart from the first scene there wasn’t really any giallo stuff. But anyway, good script with Garko and Kinski, that’s enough for me.
and yes, that lake fighting scene was really out of place.
I agree with you guys ! The movie is really cheap made, budget was probably pretty low, or Garko and Kinski were too expensive. The story is above average though and so are the actors ! Nothing very special but solid work !

I have a huge collection of Lobby Cards, Pressbooks, and original posters from France, Italy and US. I would like to share some pictures if you don’t mind.
My inspiration for starting this thread came from my giallo spaghetti thread. I read Shobary’s review and it still sounded interesting. A murder Mystery spaghetti western. Sounds similar to Grand Duel. How is it?
We desperately need some way to make it more visible which movies already have their own thread. Perhaps by throwing a forum thread-link in the database entry for the movie !?
The only two things I remember about this movie is the aforementioned giallo intro, Kinski spending most of the movie pissed (angry, not drunk) in his jail cell, and Gianni Garko as the upper-class gunslinger
Someone already told me. Goddamnit. I checked three times last night to see if a topic existed. I even checked it’s database page. Well, they’ll be combined I hope.
