Rare Sergio Bergonzelli Spaghetti Western with William Berger

director: Sergio Bergonzelli
starring: William Berger · George Wang · Antonella Murgia · Tom Felleghy · Nino Vingelli · Cristiana Gajoni

All hell breaks loose when the sheriff of Calabasas leaves town on official business. His deputy, in cahoots with a Mexican gang, plots to rob the local bank. But Cisco beats them to it. He hides the money and - because he now has a price on his head - Cisco pays a doctor to declare that he is, in fact, dead. But the plan fails when the deputy and a bandit dig open Cisco's grave and find nothing. Cisco must then come out of hiding and facade the two in a showdown before revealing his ultimate secret. In the meantime, his girlfriend has also been tortured mercilessly by the town bad guys.

Sergio Bergonzelli helmed 28 projects between 1960-1990, beginning his career - like so many other cult directors - with Spaghetti Westerns like this one. By the end of the sixties he had diverted to youth-movement thrillers. Often his movies would embrace elements of the hippie culture (CRISTIANA SCANDALOUS COED) and nunsploitation (OUR LADY OF LUST). Sometimes he would use the Serge Bergon alias for his erotic films (ie., JOY). He retired from the movie business shortly after BLOOD DELIRIUM when his health began to fail. Mr Bergonzelli died from a heart attack in September 2002. He was 78.
