José Desmet (Philippe March) kills his chief Mr. Salazar (Mario Feliciano) , a former judge who sentenced his father. He then goes to a little town , where he becomes the evil boss who kills and mistreats citizens and along the way he looks for a gold mine of his previous employer.
An inferior Spaghetti Western performed by Bruno Piergentili as Dan Harrison , though the real protagonist is Philippe March , as a revengeful servant who attempts to take , at whatever cost , a gold mine . Results to be a below average Macaroni Western , a so-so flick containing a story full of crosses as well as double-crosses , ups and downs pace , thrills and unadequate direction . Worthwhile seeing only for the final violent confrontation beetween the good guy and and bad guy at a mine , including plot twists . Weak acting by main starring Bruno Piergentili or Dan Harrison as an antihero who's wrongfully imprisoned accused of murder a man , he was a B-Italian actor who starred some westerns, such as : Seven Pistols for a Gringo , Bullets and Flesh , Giorni di sangue, Piluk el Timido, Belle Star story . His nasty contender is Phillippe March as the merciless avenger who kills the saloon owner and the doctor in cold blood , giving a better acting than Dan Harrison . They're accompanied by some briefly known secondaries , such as: Attilio Dottesio and Mario Feliciani.
It contains an attractive score with Spaghetti sounds and some catching songs from John Ireson and Wayne Parham . And the colorful and evocative cinematography by Angelo Baistrocchi , including a lot of snowy mountainous landscapes similar to other Spaghettis , as settings bear remarkable resemblance to other notorious Westerns such as ¨The great silence¨ , ¨Taste of death¨ and ¨Nine cutthroats¨. The motion picture was lousily directed by Guido Celano . He was an ordinary secondary actor who intervened in some films such as : Boccaccio, La blonde de Pékin, Agustine of Hippo, The Hills Run Red, Mark Shoots First Giurò... e li uccise : And he only directed two films : ¨uno ad uno... Piluk il timido¨ (1968) with Edmund Purdom and this Uccideva a freddo(1967) . Rating : 3.5/10 . Only for Spaghetti harcore aficionados.
