Aimed at the lowest of brows
Unreleased in the USA (except for an unauthorized latterday Something Weird dumping), this Italian Western is typical of those that chose to merely imitate American product rather than innovate. It's designed for movie fans who enjoy slumming, and judging by some verbose IMDb reviews, are easily impressed by ripoffs (in this case aping "Treasure Island").
It's sad watching a real Hollywood talent like Gilbert Roland reduced to such a nothing role.
My advice to fans killing time watching low-grade Italian genre crap: take some time to watch the hundreds of masterworks from Italy -you might learn something about the human condition from the artists and craftsmen ranging all the way from Antonioni through Zurlini.
