Summary: Mario Bava, Renaissance Man
Review: Mario Bava over his career seemed to have carte blanche with the content of his films, no matter what the budget and although he mainly did giallo thrillers, he sometimes dabbled in comedy, sci-fi and a few spaghetti westerns, which was in vogue at the time. This film is quite entertaining and even silly sometimes, but I have an open mind when it comes to spaghetti westerns since most are quite revisionary to a degree....My only qualm is a minor one but I am sure others will mention it as well for good reason...this dvd does not have an optional English track, maybe it was never released here in the U.S. or any other English speaking countries, I can understand that, but it appears that Brett Halsey and Charles Southwood are speaking their lines in English and Marilu Tulo is as well or partly anyway. But again, a good portion of Bava's films that has been released on DVD has been in Italian only, just like this film and so far I believe this is the only spaghetti western released that has only an Italian track only with English Subtitles, however I can watch it either way and I believe the film is not a ripoff of Leone's or even Corbucci films but stands on its on legs. In closing if you are a Mario Bava fan it should be included in your collection and spaghetti western buffs ditto....
