Spaghetti Western in English with Al Cliver and Yara Kewa
director: Giorgio Maruizzo (as George McRoots)
starring: Pier Luigi Conti (as Al Cliver) · Yara Kewa (as Clara Hopf)
· Corrado Olmi · Fran Marie Boyer
More
sensuously sleazy than Spaghetti Westerns tend to get, starring exploitation
magnet Al Cliver (THE
ALCOVE, VIOLENT
CITY, MURDER
ROCK, et al). He's Tommy, a naive Calvary solder (a character
similar to Peter Strauss' Jonas in SOLDIER
BLUE) who falls in love with Sunsirahe, an Apache Woman. He initially
rescues her from a gun smuggler named Honest Jeremy and attempts to escort
her to safety. Trouble greets them every step of the way as Indians and
white roughnecks both try to possess the woman. Eventually, Honest Jeremy
and his gang track the lovers down. The result is a decidedly disturbing
jolt of excessive brutality, rape and violence.
Director
Giorgio Maruizzo (as George McRoots) co-wrote the story with filmmaker
Antonio Raccioppi, a softcore specialist who helmed numerous films with
Femi Benussi (ie,The Erotic Congressman). He also wrote
many other scripts including ZENABEL
for Ruggero Deodato. The director here, Giorgio Maruizzo, is better known
as a scriptwriter, penning over 50 films (and still active today) but
is especially associated with Lucio Fulci projects (eg,House
By the Cemetery, The Beyond and Aenigma).
