Clint Eastwood stars in one of his early roles as a cool hombre who wonders into an interesting town that is nearly adandon. The only people who reside there are two different groups of rivaling people. Both groups cannot stand each other and they aren't afraid to kill if provoked. Eastwood sees a wonderful opportunity in this! He can go to both sides and pretend to spy on the opposite side and collect the cash that he receives for his services. This film is very well done and is the first of the classic trilogy of spaghetti westerns done by Sergio Leone, followed by For a Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. It's dubbed very well from Italian.
