Curator's Take
“Also known as 'Savage Gringo'. A psychological western about a gunman trying to quit the life. It’s moody and introspective, featuring a young Ken Clark.”
Why This Movie Is Important
A mystery western centered on an amnesiac. This narrative device allows the film to explore the discovery of violence, as the hero learns he is a killer. A common but effective trope.
