Short Review

I was not aware that Ernest Borgnine had appeared in an cheapie spaghetti westerns, but apparently he did. This one was okay, not bad but nothing special. The story is about a civil war deserter who goes to Mexico to marry his pregnant girlfriend before the child is born, but when the woman's father, Borgnine, intervenes and inadvertently becomes responsible for the child's death, the film becomes a fairly standard revenge story. Borgnine is good and I did alway like seeing him play a villain, which he did not often do during this later period in his career, so that is a treat. However, the film is pretty slow, awfully predictable, and done with little style (which you expect some flair in even the weakest of spaghetti western). However, the violent ending was pretty good. Overall, it's a serviceable of story and Borgnine is quite good, which makes this film worth checking out for fans of spaghetti westerns or Borgnine.
