Chaco

Chaco (George Eastman) escapes from his hanging, but he doesn't get far. A bounty hunter (Lincoln Tate) catches him, although he will get only 500 dollars for Chaco, whom he describes as a "small fish". One night, Chaco manages to trick him and run away again. It won't be the last time they met...

Poor western on a very low budget, obviously. The pacing is awful, with a hasty beginning and a middle part lacking any development (it mostly consists of a Mexican fiesta). Camera work is good enough with some dramatic close-ups and passable night shots. A lively soundtrack by Carlo Rustichelli helps to sit it through. I watched an Italian language version running only 76 minutes; it may be damaged or missing a few scenes, but I doubt my impression would be much better for a complete version in better quality. 3 stars have to suffice this time.
