Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Yash Wade

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

This is an average Tortilla/S.W. plenty of action , shootouts , thrills and abounds fist-play . Action-filled Spaghetti , littered with killings , street shootouts , brawls , revenge , romance , cross and doublé-crosses . Maccaroni Western performed by habitual actors , as it stars Peter Lee Lawrence , Roberto Camardiel , Carlo Gaddi , among others . Amusing Spaghetti/Chorizo or Gazpacho Western , it stars a bounty hunter called Garringo (Peter Lee Lawrence), who returns from pursuit outlaws to his ranch . But his father has been killed by the Style's hoodlums . As Garringo finds out that the malevolent Styles has taken possession of his daddy's ranch , and he dominates on the little town . As Styles is owner the whole little town such as : General Store , Drugstore , Hardware , transports , diligence , Saloon , and livery stable's Styles . As Garringo arrives in the village tyrannized by Styles and seeks revenge to kill the murderers . Then , the villainous boss Styles hires a gunslinger called Towers (Carlo Gaddi in his usual role as hired gun) and other henchmen to kill him . Meanwhile , Garringo befriends a sympathetic old man called Duffy (Roberto Camardiel) and both of whom form an amusing couple . Garringo is relentlessly pursued by hoodlums but he gets rid of his contenders one by one and tries to execute his vendetta . Later on , the evil tyrant Styles is protected by a corrupt sheriff (Luis Induni) who attempts to detain Garringo . In the process , the heroic gunfighter Garringo falls in love with the landowner's fiancée (Maria Pia Conte).Moving Spaghetti Western is filled with unstopped action , thrills , horse riding , brawls and crossfire . The movie is running out of ideas a bit ; nevertheless , it is still good enough to be fun . This stirring tortilla/Ravioli Western packs thrills , shootouts , noisy action , and riding pursuits . Italian-Spanish co-production filmed in Catalunya , full of familiar faces , assaults , exaggerated characters , gun-down , lots of shots and fights . Starring Peter Lee as a bounty hunter who comes back home and he vows vendetta when finds his father has been killed by a greedy landowner , he then will revenge himself and set the townsfolk free from the nasty villain . Peter is pretty nice , he ravages the screen , he jumps, leaps and bounds , hits and runs ; besides , receiving violent punches , whipping and wounds . Worthwhile watching for a demonstration of the confrontation between Peter Lee and Carlo Gaddi as the notorious hired hand called ¨Towers¨ with some looks that say it all , including an exciting ending . Here ¨Garringo¨ performed by Peter Lawrence is another hero of second class in the S.W. genre as ¨Sartana¨ (Gianni Garco) or ¨Cuchillo¨ (Tomas Milian) or ¨Ringo¨ (Giuliano Gemma) or ¨Holy Ghost¨ . The movie contains typical particularities Spaghetti , as is full of fury , sadism , bloodbaths , and close-ups of grime-encrusted faces . Early deceased Peter Lee Lawrence gives a subdued performance but adequate to his character , a two-fisted but upright gun-shooter . The notorious Spaghetti/Paella actor , Peter Lee Lawrence is good in his usual brave role , here playing a tough bounty hunter become into a terrible avenger when his father is wrongly murdered . His role is well performed , here he plays a relentless gunslinger using mercilessly his gun , a violent young who seeks justice , an usual plot in Spaghetti western . Blond German youth Peter Lee Lawrence, who made his uncredited debut in Sergio Leone "For A Few Dollars More" (1965), was the hero in many Spaghetti Westerns . His short cinematographic history can be enclosed in nine years of Italo-Spain co-productions such as "More Dollars for the MacGregors" , ¨Winchester justice¨,"Pistol for a Hundred Coffins", ¨The man who killed Billy the Kid¨ , "Four Gunmen of the Holy Trinity" ¨Fury of Johnny Kid¨ and several others . Here appear important secondaries from Spaghetti/Tortilla or Paella Western , these are the followings : Frank Braña , Maria Pia Conte as Catherine , a beautiful townswoman who loves Garringo , Luis Induni as Sheriff , the likable dentist Gustavo Re , Gaspar 'Indio' González , Franco Pesce , Luis Ciges , Juan Torres , among others . Being regularly photographed by Giancarlo Ferrando in Eastmancolor . Mostly filmed in atmospheric though poor scenarios on location in Cataluña , Fraga , (Huesca) , similar to Almeria , and a Western village located in ¨Spugles De Llobregat¨ built by Balcazar Productions and in Rome, Lazio, Italy , as well as interiors filmed in Elios studios . Enjoyable musical score by Bruno Nicalai , usual collaborator to Morricone . The motion picture was middlingly directed by Juan Bosch . He managed to make a fluid and filled with thrills , duels , attacks , and shots , though average and in low budget . Juan was a Spanish craftsman , writing and directing ; working from the 60s in all kind of genres and B movies such as Spaghetti Western : ¨Dallas¨, "God in Heaven, Arizona on Earth¨, "And the Crows Will Dig Your Grave" , "My Horse, My Gun, Your Widow" ,¨Ciudad Maldita¨, ¨They Believed He Was No Saint" , "Stagecoach of the Condemned" ; Giallo : "The Killer Wore Gloves" , "On the Edge" or "The Killer with a Thousand Eyes" ; Comedy : Mauricio Mon Amour¨, ¨40 Años Sin Sexo¨, ¨Caray Con Divorcio¨ , ¨Rolls Para Hipolito¨ and Terror : ¨Exorcismo¨, ¨Secta Siniestra¨ . Rating : 4.5/10 , mediocre but entertaining , though sometimes embarrassing . If you like Chorizo , Paella , Tortilla , Butifarra or Spaghetti westerns , this one remains lightly watchable .

After many years, Arizona (Peter Lee Lawrence) comes to the town where his father used to live. The farm he owned was taken over by the rich land-owner Styles, and almost the whole town belongs to Styles as well. Arizona doesn't get along well with Styles' men, and after several brawls, shoot-outs and arguments, Styles hires Towers, a professional gun-man, to get rid of the unwelcome stranger...Mediocre western from the time when the huge Italian western wave came to its end (1972). The audience had seen the same type of story a dozen times before, and the production was obviously very cheap. Bruno Nicolai's music is recycled from earlier movies, I believe. It doesn't help that the script is a bit too talkative and slows down the action. Peter Lee Lawrence, the only star in the cast, plays the hero quite well. Also the direction by Juan Bosch aka John Wood makes the best out of the budget. Not bad, just very modest.

Arizona, a Bounty Killer, comes back home and discovers that the malevolent Styles has taken possession of his father's ranch, and dominates on the village. With the help of Duffy, the heroic gunslinger will vengeance himself and set the villagers free from the evil tyrant. Directed with solid craft by Juan Bosch ("Los buitres cavarán tu fosa", 1972), the movie has its plus sides on the music, by the quite always excellent Bruno Nicolai (who scored several westerns and "giallo" movies, as well as the Jesus Franco movies made for H. A. Tower), and the good work of cinematographer Giancarlo Ferrando ("Dallas", 1975 by Bosch too). A banal story, but done with intelligence, is pushed by the solid characterizations offered by a good cast - Indio González ("Gentleman Jo… uccidi", 1967 by Giorgio Stegani) above all – making this movie not yet a masterpiece, but a fairly good piece of entertainment.
