Sonora (Spain · Italy 1968 / Director: Alfonso Balcázar)

Also known as

Synopsis

Jorge Martin is relentlessly stalking a gang of outlaws led by the ruthless Slim (Jack Elam) who raped and murdered his bride. Featuring a cast full of genre favorites including Gilbert Roland, Gerard Tichy and Rosalba Neri, this Spanish-Italian co-production is one of the better entries in the Sartana series. Surprisingly, the grim script was co-written by Jaime Jesus Balcazar and slapstick specialist Giorgio Simonelli, whose Franco and Ciccio comedies are miles removed from this funereal western.
