When Sergio Leone turned Lee Van Cleef into a major star with FOR A FEW GOOD DOLLARS MORE and THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY, the actor sensibly stayed in Italy to make several more spaghetti westerns, including this one from Leone's former assistant Tonino Valerii that genre aficionados rank amongst the best ever made. Giuliano Gemma plays street cleaner Scott Mary, relentlessly bullied by the people of the small town of Clifton. When legendarily ruthless master gunfighter Frank Talby rides into town, Scott seizes the opportunity to lift himself out of the gutter, and possibly even surpass Talby's own skills. But what is Talby doing in Clifton in the first place? This lively, intelligent western, notable for the chemistry between its charismatic leads, some memorable action set-pieces (including a rifle duel on horseback that has to be seen to be believed), and a jazzy Riz Ortolani score, is presented here in a high-definition restoration from the original Techniscope negative.

在美国西部的早期开发中，来自全国各地的人都涌向西部淘金，Jack Beauregard是一个典型的牛仔，他不但出手很快，而且足智多谋。Sullivan是来西部靠淘金暴富的人，他拍Jack危及自己，聘请了年轻胆大的西部牛仔 Nobody 来对付Jack……

An unseen killer is murdering people that know too much in connection with an earlier unsolved case of a missing girl. I like the giallo genre, but this one by Tonino Valerii is laid back to the point of being tedious, a few gory set-pieces can't even help this film. The ending is horribly cliché and the film has one scene that featured a fully naked prepubescent girl that repulsed me. There is NO reason to put a nude eleven or twelve year-old in any film. EVER!

在美国西部的早期开发中，来自全国各地的人都涌向西部“淘金”，杰克·包尔嘎德是一个典型的牛仔，他不但出手很快，而且足智多谋。苏利文是来西部靠淘金暴富的人，他怕杰克危及自己，聘请了年轻的西部牛仔“无名小子”来对付杰克。“无名小子”同样是艺高人胆大。两虎相争，到底谁会赢得最后胜利呢？

After his Western triumphs, Valerii stepped out of the shadow of Sergio Leone with this distinctly Bergmanesque sexual melodrama.Dionisio is perfect in the title role and this remains her best film, Valerii turns up along the way too. Just when the film hits a period of auto pilot John Steiner turns up in the final reel for a climax that is quite unforgettable. A bit difficult to trace but well worth the effort.
