Four men embark on a mission to unearth a fortune in gold from a mine.
The film is directed by Giorgio Capitani, who you have probably never heard of unless you're into obscure Italian films. It was produced by Luciano Ercoli who is a bit better known. And written by Fernando DiLeo (Slaughter Hotel), who is probably the best-known of the three. Really, the only reason to watch this is for Klaus Kinski, and even there it falls short because the dubbing just makes him sound silly.
The copy I saw (on a double-disc with "Border Shootout") was pretty rough. If a negative could be found, I could see the film getting a nice polish and being a better western under all the dust. Sadly, if it was recorded the way many Italian films were, there is no original audio, so the way it is now is probably the way it always will be.
