Pistoleros

Western town decorations like in "A Fistful of Dollars" and "For a Few Dollars More", very beautiful horses and Nico Fidenco's very beautiful music, in the spirit of Ennio Morricone but different, original. But the story is a bit stupid, two men, good friends, come into conflict because one of them loves the other's daughter and they almost kill themselves for it. Many villains around, as in most spaghetti westerns, hungry for money and fertile land, killing people until they are killed in turn by the two male friends, but who are separated by the daughter conflict. My opinion is that the three authors of the script, Giovanni Grimaldi (as Gianni Grimaldi, who is also the director of the film), Aldo Barni and Aldo Luxardo found inspiration in "A Fistful of Dollars" made a year before, there are too many similar things. The actor José Calvo, Silvanito from "A Fistful of Dollars" is here in "In a Colt's Shadow" the sheriff. Steve (the character played by Stephen Forsyth), has a white horse that is the greatest asset of the whole movie, a beautiful, smart, very well trained horse.
