Uno sconosciuto alla mia porta

"Stranger at My Door" is a pretty good movie, though I must warn you...the ending is really schmaltzy and could have been handled much better.

The story is set in the American west...during the cowboy era. It begins with a group of bank robbers running from the law. The group decides to split up and the remainder of the film is about the notorious outlaw, Clay (Skip Homeier). He happens upon the ranch of a nice family and he asks to stay while his hobbled horse recuperates. Being that the man of the house is a preacher who believes in the innate ability of anyone to reform, he allows Clay to stay...and Clay makes it clear if the family goes to the law, he'll make them pay! What's next? See the film and find out for yourself.

The acting is good, the story interesting, the horse escape sequence very well made...and the film is one I was ready to give a 7 or even 8 to until it came to the ending. The ending, sadly, was so heavy-handed and silly that it left me quite disappointed.
