This 1966 Italian spaghetti western is a violent and gritty film in the vein of Eastwood's early work. But this ain't Clint.

The story gets even more interesting, thanks to a gold heist, plenty of bloody gunfire and fist fights. Loads of fun.

If you grew up in the era without videotapes or DVDs, as I did, then you relied on TV for your horror entertainment. I was fortunate to have a public station which offered all the old Universal classics (among others) commercial-free on Saturday nights and in serial form…
