This is an early, pretty crappy spaghetti-western about a scheming wife(Rosalba Neri) who's trying to screw over her husband so she kills him to get control of his land. The main problem here is our hero(Mark Damon) who is very dull, has an orange tan, seems to be wearing blue-eyeshadow which might not be the best look for a convincing western tough guy. He also appears to be a bit of a peeping-Tom and reminds me of a pompous, douchey version of Ricky Ricardo. A little kid does get slapped around at one point so if you dislike kids maybe that might be a plus. Complete with the standard stupid barroom fight and dumb Mexican characters this one is very skipable. The one good thing is Rosalba Neri plays the corrupt wife so at least there's an attractive lady to ogle but that's about it. AKA 10,000 DOLLARS FOR JOHNNY YUMA
Here our dickhead hero murders some bandits and then feels romantic about it:
Back in the 50's Johnny Yuma was also a character in a TV series called THE REBEL but I don't think this movie had any relation to that show. Also Johnny Cash did the theme song which, like most Johnny Cash songs, is pretty cool:
