Adiós gringo (1965)
7/10
I have watched a lot of non Leone "Spaghetti Westerns" and this is one of the best.

There is no hunt for missing gold. There are no Mexicans, despite the questionable title "Adios Gringo." There is no anti-hero like the "Man With No Name. What this film has that so many inferior Italian "oaters" lack is a comprehensive storyline, and strong character development. A damsel in distress (Evelyn Stewart) is rescued by a falsely accused fugitive (Giuliano Gemma). Gemma is trying to find the man who cheated him, and clear his name. This is a simple tale, but refreshingly different than the usual "Spaghetti Western" storyline. Gemma, as always is a very likable hero, and his support from a Sheriff and Doctor, who are both sympathetic to his just cause, adds immensely. Seek this one out, and you will be rewarded. MERK.
