Contrabbando per l'oriente

Set in Colorado in 1893. The plot about a supposed outlaw and his sidekick going undercover (with the usual emphasis on gunplay and fisticuffs) is pure 'B' western; with it's smiling, well-dressed senior villain flanked by cold-eyed henchman John Dehner.

However it displays an occasional sardonic humour, is considerably spruced up with Technicolor and is occasionally dramatically staged by director Ray Nazarro (with a scene depicting Russian Roulette over a quarter of a century before 'The Deer Hunter').
