Movie Connections:

Referenced in The Spaghetti West (2005) (V)

Mysterious stranger helps bandits out of trouble to take revenge on their boss who killed his family earlier

Underrated mystery western with Kinski as gangster boss in big form, that means near to explosion in every minute of the story. First forty minutes take place at one setting, a post office station / boarding house and bear high tension.
