A Barrel Full of Dollars (Original title: Per una bara piena di dollari ) is a spaghetti westerns of demofilo fidani . It premiered in German cinemas in June 1972; The alternative title is Adios Companeros , which is why it is often confused with the film of the same name by Fidani.

content

Dan Hagen is the quick-tempered leader of a bandit group that has their refuge near the Mexican border. His two brothers come back shot from a gang ride, whereupon Hagen goes nuts and shoots her companion. He names Tamayo the gang leader who is supposed to avenge his brothers. He and several men set fire to a ranch.

George Hamilton aka the Nevada Kid is a retired officer who returns from the Civil War to find his family home burned down and loved ones murdered. Sam, a freed African-American exclave of the family, gives the Nevada Kid a watch that he found on site and that Hagen had taken from one of his dead brothers. Then Nevada Kind is looking for the owner of the watch. Together with the seedy bounty hunter John, he clears up the Hagens gang and can finally wipe them out himself.

background

A large part of this film was shot on the film grounds of the frequent Fidani actor Gordon Mitchell , the so-called Cave Studios . Above all, the interior views of the buildings and the showdown of the film provide an insight into the cheap design and construction of these studios.

Fidani shot this film parallel to Adios Companeros , with which this film is often confused because of the title. In addition to the scenery, the director also used a large part of the actors for both films.

criticism

Quite different assessments can be found with Christian Keßler ("A new proof of the relative entertainingness of the Fidani films".) And Ulrich P. Bruckner ("Another lousy piece of work by the zero-talent Demofilo Fidani, this time with some interesting actors") . The film was also panned in the Segnalazioni Cinematografiche : "At best, an average film with a banal story and technically inadequately implemented."
