Customer Reviews:

Two great Spaghetti Westerns in one high quality package.......2007-02-23

Spaghetti Westerns are what they are: Cult Cinema, Trash Cinema, however you want to categorize them. Within that context, this package puts two pretty good examples of the genre together.

"Between God, The Devil & A Winchester" stars Richard Harrison and Gilbert Roland, two solid stars of the genre, in a fun treasure hunt story.

"Johnny Yuma" is a fairly violent example of a Spaghetti Western, starring Mark Damon and sexy Rosalba Neri. This is a pretty entertaining film all in all.

Wild East is a DVD company that puts out a lot of hard to find Eurowestern classics, and they are to be commended for putting out high quality widescreen versions, usually with extras. If you're a fan of the genre, check out other releases from Wild East, like "Day Of Anger", "Kill And Pray" and "Sartana".

1. Johnny Yuma. A rich rancher is murdered by Pedro (Louis Vanner) to accomplish the desire of his sister Samantha (beautiful Rosalba Neri), the rancher's wife (now the widow), who wants to inherit the ranch herself, but the deceased in his will has selected his nephew Johnny Yuma (the American Mark Damon) as the only heir. After his city's arrival, Johnny finds the will in the safe with its sophisticated mechanism at Samantha's mansion, but he is discovered and catched. After receiving a punishment from Pedro and his gunmen, Johnny manages to escape from them. Samantha hires her former lover Carradine (Lawrence Dobkin), a gunfighter, to get rid of Johnny. Both Johnny and Carradine meet for the first time at Carradine's hotel room and they decide to duel in Pueblo at noon. So there they are, but they notice the whole gang is hidden and waiting to kill them, so that both of them join their forces to battle the gunmen. There is an impressive gunfight!. At the end Carradine returns to the ranch to shoot at Samantha, but he is mortally wounded by Samantha's hidden pistol. She tries to escape in a cart and heads for the desert while the dying Carradine shoots twice without hitting her. After that Johnny comes and before dying Carradine tells him where she has gone...,please do not go on reading if you do not want to know the end. Later in the desert, Johnny sees Samantha's dead body on the sand and a hole in each of her canteens. What a terrible death for her Carradine chose before dying !!. A suspense end.
2. Between God, the Devil and a Winchester. An old fellow Colonel Bob Ford ( Folco Lulli) stays at an inn, a hole indeed, where he hides his treasure's map because the outlaws are pursueing him. When the bandits arrive at the inn, the old Bob tries to escape but he falls off the roof and dies while the bandits set fire to the inn. A young boy Tommy knows where the map is hidden and he tries to get it but he faints with the heat of fire. A newcomer Pat Jordan (Richard Harrison) saves the boy from fire and gets the map. Chasquito (Gilbert Roland) plays the main role of the film, he is the veteran and old latin lover, see that scene when the rooster sings, then Chasquito appears in a cart and kisses at once the lovely Yugoslavian actress Dominique Boschero, here Marta the inn waitress. Pat Jordan is a priest and he wants to recover the treasure stolen by the old Colonel from a monastery, so that he hires Chasquito as the guide to take the group to Sierra Blanca, who wants really the treasure for himself, but some bandits are also after it. The desired chest is inside a stunning grotto, by a river with water falls. Chasquito uses a similar way to kill the two groups of bandits: when they are around the opened chest of the treasure, like flies to honey, he shoots at them without pity. There is an unexpected and not ethical end, the priest Pat returns to the monastery with only $5000 in his pocket after advising little Tommy to accompany the rich Chasquito to share the treasure. An entertaining movie!
