Blood River (1967)
Director: Giuseppe Colizzi
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Stock spaghetti Western, predating the much wittier 'Trinity' series featuring the same stars. A brilliant opening sequence has a train, apparently empty, pull into an isolated station decked out with a welcoming band and all; gradually it is revealed that the carriage is a sea of corpses with only one man left alive. The rest of the plot, told in flashback without much dash, involves a gambling duel with a gun loaded with blanks, a gold robbery, an insurance investigator, a fight to the death.Author:
