Reviews
“After long hesitation, Westerner frees the inhabitants of a provincial town from the reign of terror of an unscrupulous criminal. US western that deals with a classic theme in careful staging without gaining any new aspects. "
"In his first villain role, Dean Martin is incredibly brutal with Jean Simmons, who in turn shows in a long drinking scene with George Peppard what she can take."
“US westerns with a large cast. The story - loner does away with the reign of terror by a horde of violent lads - gains life and meaning through the qualities of representation and staging as well as through the technical skills of the cameraman and screenwriter. Exciting entertainment for Western friends from the age of 18. "
