10,000 Dollars for a Massacre (1967)


Directed by Romolo Guerrieri
My rating; 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Timeless Media Group)

Bounty hunter "Django" goes after a most wanted outlaw, but it turns out the two have a lot in common. He joins their gang and robs a stagecoach full of gold, but with unintended tragic results. He changes sides once again and hunts them all down in a windswept ghost town for the finale. While dramatically uneven, it does work as a character study of the conflicts faced by the main protagonist, buoyed by Nina Orlandi's theremin-tinged score and some imaginative set pieces. However, the actors are heavily made up in eyeliner and mascara, including some of the men, which kind of dulls the effect.
