Also known as

Synopsis

Gunslinger Clayton Drumm (Testi) is about to be hanged when he is given a chance to live if he will agree to murder Matthew (Oates), a rancher who has steadfastly refused to sell his land to the railroad company. Matthew's refusal is a major obstacle to the railroad's plans for expansion. Although he naturally accepts the assignment, Clayton has become weary of killing and wants to try to build a new life for himself. The would-be killer and his potential victim meet and quickly become close friends. The railroad doesn't fail to notice that Clayton has not lived up to his part of the bargain and now wants everybody who gets in their way, dead, including Clayton.

Trivia

The English title refers to a signpost seen in the film with an arrow leading to "China 9" and another in the opposite direction to "Liberty 37".
The film was the last western from both director Hellman (who had previously directed cult westerns The Shooting and Ride in the Whirlwind) and actor Oates, who had performed in numerous westerns throughout his career.
Sam Peckinpah has a small cameo in the film as a writer.
Assistant Director Tony Brandt is credited as director on Italian prints and is reportedly credited as co-director on some European prints.
There is an actual highway sign that reads "China 9, Liberty 37" on Highway 90 in Beaumont, Texas.
The film was written by Jerry Harvey and Douglas Venturelli, both of whom traveled to Spain for the filming and had cameo appearances in the film. In Italian prints, Ennio Di Concini and Vicente Escrivá Soriano are given sole writing credit.
The film had a very sparse theatrical release in the United States and did not play in some cities until as late as 1984.
