Django - God forgive his Colt (original title: Dio perdoni la mia pistola ) is a spaghetti western , which in 1969 came in Italian cinemas. It took three years to complete, which is why it has two directors. The film was first shown in German-speaking countries on September 17, 1971.

action

Texas Ranger Johnny "Texas" Brennan is hired to interview an old rancher, Prescott, who is accused of robbing a post office. The arrival of the ranger in Oakland excites Prescott's neighbor, Mr. Martin; he evidently fears his presence and has him threatened, which Brennan does not impress because of his skills as a marksman. Martin's daughter, Gladys, tells the ranger about the long rivalry between the two farmers for the use of the river that flows through both of them.

In his further investigation, "Texas" comes across Jerome, who was involved in the mail robbery. He admits that Martin had ordered the robbery so that Prescott could blame him. Martin tries to flee now, but Texas can confront him and his people and deliver them to justice.

criticism

Genre connoisseur Christian Keßler was not the only accused of inconsistencies in the “boring, sometimes brutal spaghetti western” that was due to its genesis: “ It is fairly easy to distinguish the newly filmed sequences from the others, as Wayde Preston was probably a little earlier conventional blow was killed [...], while in the bonus material he plays a gimmicked jack-of-all-trades in an officer's costume. "

Remarks

The film was started in 1966 under the direction of Mario Gariazzo; When the production company went bankrupt, the shoot was canceled. In 1969 Leopoldo Savona shot more scenes for a new company that had bought the old scenes and finally brought the film to the cinemas.
