This is an entertaining story in Paella Western sub-genre style , thus the picture includes the Canadian theme similarly to ¨Unconquered¨ by Cecil B De Mille , ¨The Canadians¨ by Burt Kennedy and ¨The trap¨ by Sidney Hayers . As the movie follows more the American models than Spaghetti Western wake . Other Spanish films about Canadian Mounted Police are ¨Mestizo¨ by Julio Buchs and ¨La Carga De La Policía Montada¨ (1964) by Ramon Torrado . This exciting picture contains noisy action , chases , cat-fights , a breathtaking struggle by the river , spectacular landscapes and many other things . Acceptable and passable tortilla Western in which the starring , Jorge Martin , resolves a conflict between trappers and Canadian Mounted Police , and falls in love for wealthy owner's daughter , Giulia Rubini , and a Saloon girl , Diana Lorys . Well crafted and passable Western realized in traditional style with ordinary screenplay written by the same director , Amando De Ossorio . As it results to be a family film , with no much violence , though there are many deaths . This is a Spanish production with action , usual Western characters , go riding , crossfire and lots of shots . It's a middle-budget film with professional actors , technicians , production values and pleasing results . There is action in the movie , intrigue , twists , riding pursuits , and guaranteeing some shoot'em ups or stunts . The movie packs an impressive final charge of the Mounted Police regiment against trappers , though regularly paced , including hundreds of extras . It's an exciting western with thrilling pursuits between the starring Jorge Martin along with his girlfriend and enemies . Nice acting by Jorge , ¨George¨ , Martin as a rebel frontiersman who seeks vengeance . The film is well starred by Spaghetti star as the Spanish George Martin who worked much for Alfonso Balcazar's factory such as ¨Clint the strange¨, ¨The return the Clint¨, ¨Oeste Nevada Joe¨, Thompson 1880¨ , ¨Taste of killing¨, ¨A pistol for Ringo and ¨The return of Ringo¨ . In the picture appears numerous familiar faces from Chorizo/Spaghetti Western such as Rafael Hernández , Raf Baldassarre ,Mirko Ellis , Santiago Rivero , Pamela Tudor , Franco Fantasia , Diana Lorys, Luis Marín , Jose Sancho and Simon Arriaga . Gorgeous cinematography by Fulvio Testi , showing spectacularly snowy mountains , white as well as iced outdoors , all of them marvelously photographed . Being filmed on location in Navacerrada mountains , La Pedriza , Manzanares Del Real , Madrid surroundings , locations along with Almeria were shot lots of Spaghetti/Chorizo Western during the sixties and seventies . Enjoyable and evocative musical score by Carlo Savina , including catching song at the beginning by Daniel White , Jesus Franco's usual . Rating : 6/10 , decent Chorizo Western .
