Sartana's Here... Trade Your Pistol for a Coffin
"Fistful of Lead"
Sartana, bounty hunter and gunfighter, witnesses the robbery of a shipment of gold. He finds his way into town where he meets with a lot of suspicious stares from the locals. He also meets with Samuel Spencer, who seems to own the company in this company town. The gold shipments are being stolen, so Spencer agrees to hire Sartana to protect the next gold shipment. Numerous dull-witted villains make attempts on Sartana's life, but he survives. Eventually, Sartana's nemesis Sabbath (he of the white coat and parasol) rides into town. With a showdown inevitable, Sartana and Sabbath square off to settle the score.
Curator's Take
“George Hilton takes over as Sartana. He plays it smoother and more gentlemanly than Garko. The plot is the usual 'double-cross over gold', but the style remains high.”
Why This Movie Is Important
Sartana returns to outsmart everyone. These films play like caper movies, where the fun is seeing how the hero will trick his way out of impossible odds using intellect and gadgets.
