Release

Reception

From contemporary reviews, "Byro." of Variety stated the film was the "perhaps the most implausible and contrived" of Italian Westerns.[5]

gollark: And it would only be one-way.

gollark: This is technically possible, but no.

gollark: Labelnet, Bundlenet and Redstonet. All of which are silly. Labelnet is fastest.

gollark: Look, I do have stuff for that. THREE things for that.

gollark: It might have been another person making the same thing.
