Storyline 7 DOLLARS ON THE RED (1966)
Gunslinger Anthony Steffen comes home from the Civil War to
find a bandit has slaughtered his family and kidnapped his young son. Next time
they meet, the son has grown up to be the bandit’s cold-blooded lieutenant,
although neither Steffen nor the son knows the other’s identity. It’s sort of
like a Greek tragedy with dreadful dubbing and lots of punching.
This one overcomes muddled storytelling and unexceptional
direction via a strong plot and some pretty sweet fight sequences, a barroom
whip battle and a hook duel in a barn being particular stand-outs. Euro-Western
mainstay Steffen is just OK in the lead, but a dead-eyed Roberto Miali and a
radiant Elisa Montes make stronger impressions as the stolen son and his doomed
love interest.
