action

Jonathan Carver works for a mining company that one day he relieves of 28 sacks of gold. At the end of his 20-year imprisonment, during which he kept the secret of the loot hiding place, gunslinger Trash Benson is waiting for him, a Mr. Travers and four other greedy bandits are interested in where Carver is going now. Trash and the Mexican Paco help him wipe out his opponents; then he dies of heart failure. Molly finds a clue to the hiding place, with which the two forced partners Benson and Paco travel to Mexico's San Fermín, where the saint's statue of the namesake is regularly venerated by the residents. Carver used it as a hiding place. Soon, however, the bandits of the revolutionary Fermín Rojas also noticed this, who fought hard battles between the two and risked their lives again and again. When all enemies are eliminated and numerous innocent residents are killed, Paco leaves his friend Benson and leaves some of the loot to the villagers.

criticism

The lexicon of international films criticized the work as “a lengthy spaghetti western with a confused plot, who propagated the law of the thumb as the only effective means of restoring law and order.” The contemporary criticism in La Notte noted: “Everything is there: descriptions of escape , Shootings, deaths, the usual brightly colored characterizations. But it all drags on, tired and unimaginative: A film that shows the slackness of the local westerns today. "

Remarks

The similar fists like dynamite came into being two years later. The Italian title is Lo credevano uno stinco di santo , international Too Much Gold for one Gringo .
