Drei gegen Sacramento (original title: Gringo ) is "one of the first spaghetti westerns with which the Italian film industry successfully reacted to the economic crisis of the cinema since 1963". Directed by Ricardo Blasco , the American Richard Harrison was engaged for the lead role in a Spanish-Italian co-production . The film was shown in abridged form in German-speaking countries from May 1, 1964.

action

A small Mexican family lives in the American-Mexican border town of Carterville, which consists of Don Diego, his children Manuel and Lisa and the American adopted son Ricardo, whom everyone calls "Gringo". One night the family farm is raided, Don Diego is killed, and the gold he has accumulated over the years is stolen. Gringo sets out to look for the gangsters.

Over time he finds out that the entire area is being terrorized by a gang whose backers Gringo can gradually unmask: They are the sheriff, the saloon owner Steadman and the Mexican horse dealer Guardo. Steadman is shot dead by the sheriff while trying to escape; Gringo can settle accounts with the remaining gangsters.

criticism

The Segnalazioni Cinematografiche wrote a modest western that runs along the usual lines and places no value on the psychological development of its characters.

In addition to a song that Mikaela interprets, Peter Tevis (under the pseudonym Dicky Jones ) sings A Gringo like Me .

Filming locations were Alcalá de Henares , Hoyo de Manzanares and Titulcia .
