Some thieves rob a train and then hide the gold. However, the man who hid the gold ends up dying -- and everyone is looking for it! At the same time, a bounty hunter slowly tracks one of the men, purposely letting him escape until the bounty rises high enough.
This Rome-based film was directed by Enzo G. Castellari. You may know this name because he went on to direct the original "Inglorious Bastards".
The Grindhouse Experience box set has some terrible picture quality to it, but this is one exception. Although I am sure they did not get it from a great source, it lacks the grainy, snowy feel of many VHS transfers and is almost what a DVD should be.
I presume this film was trying to rip off "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". The hero has sort of a Clint Eastwood look to him. Of course, you know it's not going to be much more than a disposable spaghetti western, but some people dig that.
I actually really enjoyed the story, the directing, the characters... and I am not even really into westerns much. Of course, for westerns I'd recommend you go after the more well-known titles first (Eastwood is hard to beat), but this is a decent lesser-known film and a good way to spend an afternoon when you are snowed in.
