content

New Mexico 1865: Matt Weaver has in American Civil War fought for the South. Now he is returning to Pecos to live as a farmer again. To his dismay, he finds strangers in his family's house: the local banker Sam Brewster has sold the property as the property of a southern rebel . Another shock awaits Weaver immediately: his girlfriend Ruth has become someone else's wife in his absence.

When the new owner of the farm tries to kill him, Weaver kills him in self-defense. The banker Brewster then incites the inhabitants of the small town against Weaver and wants to have him eliminated by a hit man. Jules Gaspard d'Estaing, a feared gunslinger from New Orleans , seems like the right man for it. When the idiosyncratic Creole falls in love with the beautiful Ruth, who is still drawn to Weaver, things take an unexpected turn.

Reviews

Yul Brynner and George Segal play the main roles in this gripping western , which is at the same time a "plea for civil honesty and overcoming racist prejudice".

Western connoisseur Joe Hembus judged in his standard work “Das Westernlexikon” on “Meeting point for two pistols”: “A film that shares with its hero the refinement, the elegance , the irony and a smooth coldness, which mainly serves to create one to shield endangered sensitivity ”.
