"Hudson River Massacre” is a 1965 Italian Western originally titled “I tre del Colorado” and also released as “Rebels in Canada,” “Revolt in Canada,” and “Canadian Wilderness.” In the film, the Hudson’s Bay Company, an English corporation, is tightening its monopoly on the lucrative fur-trading business in western Canada in the late 1800s by driving independent French-Canadian trappers out of business. The French-Canadians counter with an uprising led by Leo Limoux, played by Franco Fantasia, a Spaghetti Western regular with a familiar face if not a familiar name. Trapper Victor DeFrois (George Martin) resists joining the rebels until his brother is executed for robbery and murder on charges fabricated by the ruthless Hudson’s Bay trading-post manager, Sullivan. When that happens, Victor throws in with the resistance. At Limoux’s direction, the young trapper kidnaps Sullivan’s sister Anne and holds her at a remote cabin for ransom.
