Un dollaro bucato (1965)

English titles: Blood for a Silver Dollar; One Silver Dollar

Faithful translation of the Italian title: A Punctured Dollar

 A man and his brother separate after the end of the American Civil War. One of them heads for a town named Yellowstone; his brother also heads for that town later. Yellowstone is riddled with corruption; there they see their fates decided in a violent and tragic manner.

As most Italian Westerns, it has a plot with many ridiculous turns and childish notions, and owes more to fairy tales than to anything related to the real American West. That being said, it has above-average production values and entertainment value compared to other films in its genre.

Rating: 44
