criticism
“Formally weak, content-wise sympathetic Euro-Westerns,” wrote the lexicon of international films . Film.tv.it has a similar verdict: "Slightly stretched and static Western of unusual intimacy."
Remarks
As one of the few spaghetti westerns, the film was not exploited in any other way on video cassette or DVD after its cinema show. The soundtrack was released on CD by Nazionalmusic 2011.
The pseudonym Omar Hopkins is sometimes attributed to Primo Zeglio .
