Django Defies Sartana

(1970) Django Challenges Sartana/ Django defies Sartana/ Django sfida Sartana DUBBED SPAGHETTI WESTERN MYSTERY

Written and directed by Pasquale Squitieri that has Django (Tony Kendall) and his posse taking on Cuervo and his gang. And when news hits, Django becomes the talk of the town just as soon as Sartana (George Ardisson) comes into town. Head banker, Phillip Singer (Bernard Faber) asking one of it's employees, Steve Farrell (John Alvar) who happens to be Django's brother to personally deliver $3,000 over to him so that he won't rob the town's bank. Sartana becomes insulted and kicks Steve out of his rented room. And when the head banker, Phillip Singer gets shot, and the banks money goes missing, it is then assumed Sartana conspired with Django's brother to steal the town's money. Leading the entire town to lynch and hang Steve by the townspeople. By the time Django shows up, and finds out what happen he vows retribution assuming that that was exactly what may have happened. What ends up happening is that the head banker, Phillip Singer was alive all along and that it was a scheme to steal the town's money. All he did was change his name to Don Fellippe, both him and his wife succeeded in fooling the townspeople. Django seeking retribution to what happened to his brother with Sartana wanting to clear his name coming with them is a mute named Loco (José Torres).

Watchable quickie mess that consists of an interesting set up that gets bogged down with uninteresting shoots outs and a mediocre fisticuff sequence between Django and Sartana. And like if that was my brother who was falsely accused like Django's brother was, beside the head banker and his wife, I think I'd also go after some of the townspeople who participated in that lynching via "Hang Em High", I assumed the writer and director of this movie by the name of Pasquale Squitieri may not have seen that movie.
