WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesIn the obituary for Tab Hunter in the "New York Times", the obituary cites how Tab Hunter wrote in his memoir that he was in Madrid in 1967 to make "The Christmas Kid" and ran into Jeffrey Hunter, who was there to make "The Cups of San Sebastian".
Figuring that the producers of either movie wouldn't know the difference between Tab and Jeffrey, they decided to switch roles. Neither the producers nor anyone else involved with the making of either movie, apparently, knew the difference either.

Sheriff Anderson: Well, how do you expect one to keep law and order in this town if every time I bring 'em in, you keep turning 'em loose?
Judge George Perkins: You keep the order and I'll look after the law!
Tortilla/US Western with a good cast but wasted , as professional Hollywood B-actors, several Spanish secondaries and other expert technicians . As its director results to be Sidney Pink who lived in Madrid, Spain , where he produced many of the earliest spaghetti westerns , genre in which he would not only excel but one where he would spent time of the rest of his career . Ordinary Western that doesn't follows the Sergio Leone wake , but it is proceeded in American models . There is plenty of action in the movie , guaranteeing some shoot'em up , or stunts every few minutes , but being badly edited . There is an odd implementation of shots in the camera work during some particular scenes as the film approaches its climax , as in the final gunfights and when Joe Navidad is condemned to hanging . Outdoor sequences with barren and rocky exteriors filmed in Spanish places located on AManzanares Del Real , Colmenar Viejo , La Pedriza (Madrid) that resulted to be the location in which was shot lots of Western produced and directed by Spanish , Italian and occasionally American people . It stars Jeffrey Hunter who played various Ford films as ¨The searchers¨, ¨Last Hurrah¨, Sergeant Rutlede¨, and made all kinds of genres as Wartime : ¨The longest day¨, ¨hell eternity¨, ¨Private navy of Sgt O'Farrell¨, ¨No man is an island¨¨ and Western : ¨The great locomotive chase¨, ¨7 cities of gold¨ , his greatest success was ¨King of kings¨ ; and played other Spanish films as ¨A witch without a broom¨. Furthermore , other American stars as Louis Hayward as Culligan who has always used the corrupt sheriffs to deal with the dirty side of his business . And a great number of Spanish secondaries as Jack Taylor , Luis Prendes , Fernando Hilbeck , Gustavo Rojo , Angel Menéndez and Alvaro De Luna .
Lousy cinematography in Eastmancolor by Manuel Hernandez San Juán , being necessary a perfect remastering because of the copy is washed-out . Anti-climatic musical score by musical score by Fernando García Morcillo . Being badly produced and directed by Sidney Pink . Sidney is generally considered to be a decent producer/director of B movies . He realized his first feature in 1953 titled I Was a Burlesque Queen . Although Sidney Pink couldn't be deemed an "A"-list director, his movies had a professionalism and a verve that many of those made by his fellow B directors lacked . He began his film career as a projectionist in a theater owned by his wife's family . Pink was considered the pioneer of 3-D movies, having produced more than 50 of them . Produced the first widely released feature-length 3-D film, "Bwana Devil," presented in the polarized dual-projector system which became standard for the 1950's 3-D movie craze . Sidney was a producer and writer, known for Reptilicus (1961), The Angry Red Planet (1959) and Journey to the seventh planet (1962) .He also filmed thrillers as ¨Pyro¨ and more Western as "Seven Vengeful Women" and ¨Joe Navidad
