El largo camino de la venganza

This film begins with a young woman by the name of "Deborah Carter" (Dada Gallotti) riding a horse from her ranch toward a small town several miles away. Suspecting that she has $150,000 on her from the sale of her ranch, a group of bandits led by an outlaw named "Montana" (Rik Battaglia) intercepts her along the way. However, upon discovering that she has no money on her, they subsequently proceed to gang rape and murder her out of sheer spite. Not long afterward, her brother "Jeff Carter" (Richard Harrison) discovers what has happened and, after recovering a poncho left by one of the members of the gang, decides to track down every single one of them in a quest for vengeance. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that--although it followed a rather familiar plot for the typical spaghetti western of the time--the director (Tanio Boccia) wasn't quite able to establish a smooth transition from one scene to the next resulting in a rather choppy feel to the movie. Neither did he use the talents of actors like Richard Harrison or Anita Ekberg (as the saloon owner "Jane") to their full potential. That being said, while I don't consider this to be a terribly bad picture, considering the issues just mentioned, I have to rate it as slightly below average.
