Short Review

Spaghetti western where Anthony Quinn plays a deaf mute agent working for Texas President Sam Huston, right after Texas gained independence from Mexico. Quinn is ordered to infiltrate and stop a group of Texas rebels, but the rebels intercepted a cable saying a deaf mute is in their midsts, so Quinn and his partner Franco Nero must conceal his condition in order to complete their mission. The film also features Pamela Tiffin, who I'd always liked in Billy Wilder's "One, Two, Three" and couldn't remember seeing her in much else, so it was nice to see her in this. It's not a classic, but Quinn and Nero make strong leads and are enough to make this a better than average Italian western of from this time.
