While another starring , the Spanish German Cobos played a lot of Paella/Chorizo or Tortilla Western filmed in Spain such as : ¨Hombre De La Diligencia¨ by Jose Maria Elorrieta¨, ¨Fuerte Perdido¨, ¨Valor De Cobarde¨ by Leon Klimowsky , ¨Wanted¨ by Giorgo Ferroni , ¨Blood calls to Blood¨ by Luigi Capuano and ¨The Secret of Captain O'Hara¨by Arturo Ruiz del Castillo. They're well supported by a familar secondary cast , formed by customary secondaries, such as : Tom Felleghy , Erna Schurer , Andrea Scotti , Giovanni Petrucci , Ivan Scratuglia , among others .
It displays atmospheric and evocative musical score in Spaghetti style by Ubaldo Continiello , including a catching leitmotif that results to be a variation of Joaquin Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez . This picture was regular but professionally directed by Siro Marcellini , though with no originality , and it has a number of flaws and gaps. Marcellini was a nice craftsman who directed another Western titled ¨The Man from Cursed Valley¨ but his speciality was the adventure genre such as "The Beast of Babylon Against the Son of Hercules" , I Cavalieri del Diablo¨, "The Two Rivals" and "The Secret Mark of D'Artagnan" . Rating : 5.5/10 . Average but acceptable and passable spaghetti western.
