This movie seems to be very unnoticed. But it is really worth a view! An interesting atmosphere, a well directed plot and excellent actors. Most of all it scores with the pairing of Elaine Stewart and John Derek. It is their second movie together after "The Adventures of Haji Baba". And again the chemistry between these two beautiful people is incredible. In my opinion Elaine Stewart is one of the prettiest and sexiest women ever hit the screen. It is hard to understand why she did not become a bigger star!

Watch the scene in this movie where she is taking a bath in a old barrel. One of the prospectors come in and .... She really is a gifted actress. The scene is a highlight and every admirer of the movies from the 50s should know it.

This movie is well done. A fine director, an interesting story, good music (as always in this Italian movies from the 60s and 70s). There are strong actors too.

Bud Spencer shows that he is able to give a nice performance in a dramatic role of a father who is in the prison innocently. Of course there are not very fine nuances in his mimic but he fits the role perfect.

A surprise for me was that he has not the leading role. There are two boys who never made a lot of other movies. They dominate the screen and did an impressive job - Domenico Santoro and Andrea Balestri!

This is one of the most interesting episodes of this great western show. Clint Walker as Cheyenne Bodie has to sing in it. We all know that he had a wonderful voice. He sang in one of his movies too (Night of the Grizzly) and he even recorded an album (called "Inspiration"). Here we can hear three other songs: Some Sunday morning, Whipcrack, Beautiful dreamer! There is another surprise in this episode: Clint plays a double role: He is Cheyenne and an actor who looks exactly like the main character. As the actor Clint appears very British and stylish. There is an shirtless scene too. All in all this episode is a great pleasure!
