"They followed her for the gold and her body…they didn't get the gold" as usual the tagline sounds a lot better than what you actually get here. What you get is a pretty dull and boring spaghetti western starring Jeffrey Hunter as a confederate soldier who helps a woman who is constantly being molested and hassled by Mexican banditos because of her possession of gold as well as her charming looks. There's no "body getting" as far as I saw. Talky, slow-paced and lacking in any amazing action set pieces this one is rightfully obscure and should stay so. The crappy musical interludes and score in general don't help liven things up much. Director Giuliano Carnimeo went on to make a pretty decent giallo called THE CASE OF THE BLOODY IRIS. Watch that instead of this or just go watch some Leone again for good spaghetti action.
I feel like this theme song might actually be good if Nancy Sinatra sang it:
